07:36 AM ET 08.18 | Yates Racing, with an assist from partner Roush Fenway, is making a push to sign Paul Menard from Dale Earnhardt Inc. "We believe we're the leading contender outside of the incumbent," Smith said. #38-David Gilliland and #28-Travis Kvapil currently drive for Yates Racing. DEI officials have been negotiating to re-sign Menard and feel confident he will return to the organization.

I think Yates' interest is not as much about Paul as it is about his daddy's money.

I think you all hit the nail on the head..... seriously, what has Menard done to make him wanted as a driver for other organizations (Besides daddys money).
I will admit though that when Menard came on the circuit I thought he would do well.... of course, I also thought Dale Jr would do better than Busch this year....
Open mouth...insert foot...

Menard is crap on wheels...why would anyone fight to get him? I know he comes packin a bankroll but does that really offset poor performance on raceday??

EXACTLY what I thought as soon as I read the headline.....if you sign him, daddy's sponsor money will be sure to follow.

Considering the economy Right now, a good sponsor is worth more than a good driver.

How is Yates going after a driver who brings a sponsor along any different than what goes on in any other series. Do you really think Milka Duno would have a ride in the Indy Cars if she didn't bring money with her?
Get used to this, it is business folks. Menard has what Yates really doesn't have. Money. Yates is running on a shoestring budget and bringing a sponsor on board will really help the team.
What is the difference between Menard and Duno? At least Menard knows how to stay out of the way.
