Aikman-Staubach team lands sponsor, set for '06 Nextel Cup racing
Tuesday, August 16, 2005
Finally, the deal is done. Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach are going Nextel Cup racing in 2006.
The former Cowboys quarterbacks and their Hall of Fame Racing team reached agreement with Texas Instruments, which will become the primary sponsor next season. The sponsorship branding on the car is TI's DLP Products technology for high-definition TV.
Aikman also announced the team has a partnership agreement with Joe Gibbs Racing. JGR will supply Chevrolet engines, equipment and technology to Hall of Fame Racing.
"It's hard for me to express how excited and enthusiastic we are about this," Aikman said. "I didn't enter into this with any illusions, but it was more difficult than I expected."
Aikman first announced his plans to own a NASCAR team with Staubach in January 2003 at Texas Motor Speedway.
