haas cnc racing Mayfield To Haas CNC Racing

Effective immediately, Jeremy Mayfield will replace Jeff Green at Haas CNC in the #66 Best Buy/Haas Automation Chevrolet. Jeff Green had been driving the car since the beginning of the 2006 season, but has only recorded five top ten finishes in the time-span.

Mayfield has spent a majority of his first season with Bill Davis Racing on the couch as a spectator as he has only qualified for 13 of the 32 races. Ever since his acrimonious split with Ray Evernham and Evernham Motorsports, now Gillett Evernham Motorsports, Mayfield's career has hit a downward spiral. This opportunity with Haas CNC may not lead him to a NASCAR Sprint Cup championship, but he will have the luxury of utilizing Hendrick Motorsports engine packages.

All three of Jeff Green's top ten finishes have occurred on tracks in which the Car of Tomorrow has been used, so considering that the Car of Tomorrow will be fully implemented in 2008, Mayfield could reel of a few good finishes. Scott Riggs will likely take over the #70 ride that Johnny Sauter currently drives.

"He (Jeremy Mayfield) has been in the Chase two of the last four years and that was a big factor in our decision. We very excited," said Joe Custer, the general manager for Haas CNC.

Now that Mayfield is off the market, David Stremme has become the top free agent
