Darnell replacing Bobby Labonte for 7 races: Yates Racing, announced that former NASCAR Camping World Series Rookie-ofthe-Year and current NASCAR Nationwide Series driver, Erik Darnell will be behind the wheel of the #96 entry in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for seven races this season. Darnell will make his Sprint Cup Series debut Labor Day weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the #96 Academy Sports & Outdoors Ford Fusion. He also is slated to pilot the #96 at Loudon, Kansas, Talladega, Texas, Phoenix and Homestead. Darnell will carry the familiar colors of Northern Tool + Equipment for the Loudon and Kansas races. Academy Sports & Outdoors will be Darnell's primary sponsor at Atlanta, Talladega and Texas. Bobby Labonte will continue to race the#96 Ford under the Hall of Fame Racing banner with Ask.com and DLP as his primary sponsors at Richmond, Dover, Fontana, Charlotte and Martinsville. "This is a move that will be beneficial to Yates Racing surviving this difficult economic time," said Bobby Labonte. "Of course, I'm disappointed that the sponsorship environment is so challenging right now, but I intend to make the most out of the remaining races that I'm behind the wheel for Ask.com, DLP and Hall of Fame Racing."(Yates Racing PR)(8-31-2009) Comment here I hate it for Labonte, he's made 568 consecutive starts to this point, and Atlanta has always been his best track...so he may be a top 10 contender this week actually. But unless he gets a ride with a start and park team, it looks like he won't be out there this week. And it's a shame too, Labonte is one hell of a driver, he has just been in god awful equitment this year. It's not his fault at all really. I hate it for him, he probably won't be back next year either. This may mark the end of his career On the other side of this though, i've always been a fan of Erik Darnell so it's cool that he'll get a cup ride. I wouldn't expect him to do much though, Yates racing has just been awful this year. Oh well, maybe he'll surprise me and run decent |

They expect Erik Darnel to do better then Bobby? You can put Jimmie, Jeff and Tony alltogether and they still wouldn't get a top 5 with the crap they give Bobby to work with. |

Let Bobby finish the year in the 12 car. Atlanta has been a good track for Bobby and the 12 historically, so this would be a great match, plus it gets rid of Stremme 12 weeks early. |

I think the "hack" in the 88 can do a hell of a lot better than Bobby can. |

Technically they are only separated by 9 spots in the points. ![]() Even sadder is Bobby is actually ahead of Stremme in the points in a Yates car. |

Well at least Bobby would be a has been then. Jr on the other hand would be considered a never has been .Really though, Bobby didn't start going down hill till' the midway point of the 2004 season. Also if Penske put anyone in the #12 at this point, it would be Keselowski. |

I see it as payback for everyone mocking Penske over the years. You all deserve it. ...Not really, I'd rather see Jr. win than most, the jokes are just as fun though. |
