“I’m really excited
because Jon Stewart and those guys have that car thundering,” Todd said. “They
have been one of the best teams since the Countdown began and I’m looking
forward to driving next year and battling it out for a championship.
“It will be the same team and just a different paint scheme with one of Evan Knoll’s companies on the side. It’s exciting to know I will have a top-flight car out there. With Evan Knoll, Latrell Preston and Torco Race Fuels backing, I’m anxious to get over there and get started.”
This announcement ends speculation regarding Todd's direction for 2007.
"J.R. and I have been great friends," said Lucas. "I can't tell you how excited I am. You don't get a lot of chances to race with a really good friend, and this is one of those chances you gotta enjoy. J.R. has a great brand and carries a lot of fan base. Evan Knoll will be coming over to support him. John Stewart will be keeping everything going. The car has been consistent and he's got a handle on it. We're going to keep going and winning races next year."
