Paul Menard has reached an agreement to drive for Yates Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series beginning with the 2009 season.

"This is a great opportunity and I'm glad to be joining the Yates Racing organization next season," Menard said. "I think a lot of what Doug Yates and Max Jones are doing over there is building for continued success. I'm excited to be a part of their future and excited to work with Travis [Kvapil] and David [Gilliland].

"You look at what Doug and the Ford Motor Company have done in this sport, they've created a lot of horsepower and hoisted quite a few trophies over the years. I'd like to help continue that for both of them."

Menard's Ford Fusion will feature sponsorship from Menards, his father's Midwest-based hardware chain that will follow him from his current ride at Dale Earnhardt Inc.
