Jarrett could leave Waltrip’s team

UPDATE Dale Jarrett is puzzled by reports that he could retire at the end of the season. Not only does he plan to continue racing for Michael Waltrip Racing next season, but he also says that sponsor UPS is solidly on board with the No. 44 team.

"I don't know where all this other stuff got started," Jarrett said. "Nobody came to me and asked me. As a matter of fact I was standing in a restaurant with some friends and a guy tapped me on the shoulder last week and said, 'I didn't realize you were retiring at the end of the year,' and I said: 'Well I didn't either. I've been on the golf course for two days, but I didn't realize things had changed quite that much.' I have no ideas of making any change, and I'm committed."

06/11/07 XM Radio reported on Sunday that Dale Jarrett, Michael Waltrip Racing and Toyota were re-evaluating Jarrett’s future with the team and could release him outright or sending him to a different Toyota team, either a current team or one that could switch to Toyota next season.
