What is the deal at Yates Racing?

Full story: www.examiner.com

One year ago, this weekend, Tony Stewart announced he as leaving Joe Gibbs Racing to become a co-owner at Stewart-Haas Racing, in that time Stewart has created a successful blue print on how a satellite Cup organization should be run. This seems to be a lesson Yates Racing Co-owners Doug Yates and Max Jones have failed to learn. After cutting David Gilliland and Travis Kvapil from their driver lineup due to lack of sponsorship, this team went out and signed Bobby Labonte, and Paul Menard and new sponsors Ask.com and Menards. To say the least these are moves that had not exactly worked.

Rumors that Bobby and Paul may both be out at Yates. I hope they leave Brad alone. I can't see him going to Yates. They should have kept what they had Kvapil, and Gilliland.
Looks like silly season is starting early this year.....

Travis did a great job for them last year, at least he was consistant with a top 15-20 finish. He didn't wreck the equipment either. They need to get on the band wagon however; you would have expected them to do better since they are now over by the Roush shop. Maybe Robert should come back from retirement? I bet he's glad he took his money and ran...
