Tony Raines was behind the wheel for the rest of the races . The team's best result in the 2006 season was third place at the Infineon Raceway .
On September 4, 2007, the team announced that they had signed up former Joe Gibbs Racing # 18 driver , JJ Yeley , of the # 18 Interstate Batteries Chevrolet . The contract ran until 2010.
The best result in 2008 was a third place in New Hampshire . In September 2008 it was announced that Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach, Bill Saunders and Mark Griege are no longer the owners of the racing team.
