Kvapil gets new Cup crew chief
CONCORD, N.C. - Despite several changes at Yates Racing, Travis Kvapil is set to return behind the wheel for the organization.
The 2003 Craftsman Truck Series (now Camping World Truck Series) champion has been confirmed for at least five NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in the No. 28 Yates Ford in 2009.
Former Ford field manager Ben Leslie will serve as Kvapil's crew chief this season.
Kvapil, 32, captured one pole and four top-10 finishes last season.
Earlier this week, Yates officials announced that they merged with Hall of Fame Racing. As a result, HoF's Bobby Labonte and new Yates driver Paul Menard will inherit the owner points earned by Kvapil and David Gilliland last year - so Kvapil will have to qualify on time for each of his five starts.
