Launching a new era in its relationship with NASCAR, UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced it would join Roush Fenway Racing for the 2009 campaign and rely on driving standout David Ragan to push the colors of "Big BrownSM" into Victory Lane.
Ragan will race the #6 UPS Ford Fusion next season in a significantly revitalized UPS motorsports program. UPS has signed a multi-year deal with Roush Fenway Racing and Ragan. The agreement represents a return to Ford Motor Co. and an opportunity to establish long-term stability for UPS's racing program.

The 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season will mark the ninth season of primary sponsorship for UPS and the 10th year as the official Delivery Company of NASCAR.
