For the 2006 season, the team will be operating only one car, the #96 sponsored by Texas Instruments' DLP technology. Philippe Lopez, formerly the crew chief with RCR's Dave Blaney team, will be the crew chief for the car. No driver has been officially named yet, but speculation is currently heaviest on Tony Raines and Terry Labonte. One rumor has Labonte driving the #96 for the first few races of the season, which would give the team a guaranteed spot in the 2006 Daytona 500 because of Labonte's former champion provisional. Labonte would then be replaced by Raines after those initial races. Other drivers rumored to be involved include Ward Burton, Mike Wallace and even open-wheeled driver Paul Tracy.
