Bob Kraft, NASCAR owner?
Hey all --
Patriots owner Bob Kraft may be looking for a new sport to get his family involved in: NASCAR. According to this article in the Knoxville News-Sentinel, team owner Robert Yates of Robert Yates Racing, is reportedly talking to Kraft about an ownership share.
Earlier this year, Red Sox owner John Henry and the Fenway Sports Group entered into a 50-50 partnership with Roush Racing.
In addition to the Patriots, the Kraft family also owns the New England Revolution soccer team.
Robert Yates Racing has two cars in the Nextel Cup -- the #88, driven by Ricky Rudd, and the #38, driven by David Gilliland. The Ford cars use motors developed by the Yates and Roush teams.
