Roush Fenway Racing announced today that it will begin fielding a part-time ARCA RE/MAX Series team in 2007 with multiple drivers at the wheel. The No. 99 team will debut this weekend at Kansas Speedway with Erik Darnell, driver of the No. 99 Northern Tool + Equipment Ford in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, assuming driving duties.
“I’m really happy to have the opportunity to compete in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, ” said Darnell. “It’s a great series to race in, you’ve got a great mix of veterans and up-and-comers. We’re here to race for the win. Hopefully we can be up there in the mix of things on Saturday, and maybe we can put this Roush Fenway Racing Ford Fusion in Victory Lane. “
Darnell competed in the ARCA RE/MAX Series in 2005. In five career starts, Darnell’s best finish is a fourth place at The Milwaukee Mile.
