FitzBradshaw Racing for Sale?: UPDATE - DENIED A source has confirmed that FitzBradshaw Racing is for sale. Co-owned by Armando Fitz and former NFL quarterback Terry Bradshaw, the team has struggled on the track this year with rookies Joel Kauffman and Tracy Hines. Three drivers have shared the team's #12 entry, with a best finish of 18th by Kauffman at Texas. The team's other entry, which carries the #14, also has a best finish of 18th, by Hines at Atlanta. The team entered only one car at Darlington because of sponsorship issues.(SceneDaily.com)(5-17-2006)
UPDATE: Statement from Armando Fitz: "As a result of restructuring our organization from a 3-car team to a 2-car team, we are simply exploring our options of relocation. Therefore, our current building has been placed on the market as we look for a smaller facility. We are NOT selling our race team. FitzBradshaw Racing is committed to our Sponsors and personnel not only for the remainder of the season but for the future as well."(FBR PR)(5-17-2006)
