couldn't find a suitable replacement
for the number 6 car and asked Martin
to stay on as the driver for another
season. It had been widely speculated
that Martin he would return and it has
been confirmed that he will be back for
2006. His replacement will start
racing in 2007. Todd Kluever will take
over the 6 car, Kluever currently
