Dale Jarrett Dale Jarrett knows better than most the tenacity and persistence required to solidify a career in NASCAR and that it takes more than a name to earn the respect and approbation of the NASCAR community. Accomplishing these goals has positioned Jarrett as one of the sport's most esteemed drivers and has allowed him to his mark as a NASCAR champion. Jarrett's glorious 21-year career comes to a close during the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series when he steps from behind the wheel of the #44 UPS Toyota Camry for the final time.

Ford Credit has remained an associate sponsor. On May 13, 2006, on Speed Channel Jarrett announced he will race the Toyota Camry for Michael Waltrip Racing in 2007.
UPDATE 2: Reutimann confirmed Thursday that he'll move from the #00 Toyota into the UPS-sponsored #44 Toyota after the first five races, replacing Dale Jarrett, who is cutting back to a limited schedule. Reutimann said he didn't know what will happen to the #00 team after he moves over but that his understanding was that Waltrip plans to continue running three cars. He said he expects his crew chief, Frank Kerr, and crew will move intact to the #44, but doesn't know for certain that it will work that way.(Tampa Tribune)(10-12-2007)
