Dale Jarrett diecast truck 44 Retirement Tribute UPS Truck 2008 Nascar 1/32 :: This officially licensed, 1:32 scale (about the same size as a 1/24 scale Nascar car), Dale Jarrett #44 Retirement Tribute UPS Truck collectible Nascar diecast truck is precision engineered by MotorSports Authentics as part of their Action Racing Collectables Series. Dale Jarrett, the 1999 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, retired from full-time competition in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series at the conclusion of the 2007 NASCAR season. In 2008, he plans to compete in seven races, including the season-opening Bud Shootout and DAYTONA 500. The Hickory, N.C.-native made his first career start in NASCAR’s top touring series at Martinsville Speedway on April 29, 1984. Jarrett’s full-time Cup career started in 1987 and the most successful stint of his career came during the 12 years he spent driving for Robert Yates Racing. From 1995 to 2006, Jarrett won the 1999 NASCAR Cup Series championship, 29 races and earned 16 Bud Pole Awards. “This is obviously a decision that required a lot of thought and consideration and it is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do,” said Jarrett. “Being fortunate to have one of the best sponsors in NASCAR with UPS and my burning desire to compete are the reasons why I have continued as a driver in the Sprint Cup Series. But I’ve come to the decision to get out of the racecar and even though I’ll miss being a driver, I am looking forward to the next phase of my life and career.” UPS, the Official Delivery Company of NASCAR, has been the primary sponsor for Jarrett since 2001. UPS will continue as a partner and primary sponsor of the Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota Camry and although Jarrett is retiring, his relationship with UPS will continue off the race track. “Dale Jarrett has been a terrific ambassador for the UPS brand during these seven years of our relationship,” said Ron Rogowski, director of sponsorship for UPS. “We support Dale in his decision to step from behind the wheel of the racecar and are thrilled to be able to continue the mutually beneficial relationship that started in 2001. We wish Dale and his family all the best in the future and will always count them as part of the UPS family.” Jarrett, a 32-race winner in NASCAR Cup Series competition, is scheduled to make his final career start at Lowe’s Motor Speedway on May 17, 2008.
