Kvapil open to other opportunities

Travis Kvapil

While his first goal would be to see Yates Racing revive the #28 car, Travis Kvapil said he didn't think the Yates Racing team would keep him from other opportunities. "Obviously I want to be racing," Kvapil said.

"I don't like sitting on the couch. I don't like not being there, not competing. It's really hard to watch it on Sunday just knowing that I feel like I should be out there. It has just not worked out. I want to race, and if there were other opportunities that came up, we'd have to look at them as they come and cross that bridge when it comes. The Yates group told me if something did come up, they wouldn't necessarily hold me back from competing, we'd just have to work it out." Kvapil said he wouldn't rule anything out, but would like to find something at the Cup level where he feels as if he still has a lot to prove.

He isn't too concerned about sitting out as far as his abilities deteriorating while he is out of the seat. If Yates Racing does find sponsorship, Kvapil said the team wouldn't need much time to get ready to get to the track.

"In a matter of two or three days we could probably be ready to go to the race track," Kvapil said. "They took my handful of race cars and pushed them over in the corner and the hauler is all ready to go. They didn't scavenge any parts or pieces from the 28 bunch to go to any other team. The 28 is ready to go. we'd have to hire a few people back right away, but a number of people we had on the 28 came from within the company already, so they're there." Scene Daily
