J.J. Yeley who lost his job driving for Joe Gibbs Racing when Kyle Busch was signed landed with a new team and "a team where we can grow together", as Yeley put it.
Yeley joined the new ownership structure at Hall of Fame Racing Tuesday. Yeley will replace Tony Raines in the number 96 next season. Yeley will still have some relationship with Joe Gibbs as they have a partnership with Hall of Fame.
It's a good decision for Yeley. It gives him a fresh start and more than likely he will be driving a Toyota next year, and Toyota is looking for young drivers to make a bigger splash next year. Yeley is hungry and I beieve he is on the verge of making a breakthrough and winning races. Whether he can do it next year in a Toyota is a big queston mark.
Hall of Fame racing is currently a single car operation. This could be both a blessing and a curse for Yeley. On the positive side, he will get a lot of attention and money spent on him to make him a winner. But Yeley would benefit from making Hall of Fame a multiple car organization. Time will tell.
