Andy Petree Racing announced Monday it will enter the Daytona 500 with open-wheel star Christian Fittipaldi and sponsor Monaco Coach.
Monaco will also sponsor APR in four NASCAR Truck series races this season. The team continues to search for a sponsor to run the entire Winston Cup schedule as well as additional Truck events.
Petree will be borrowing the services of Fittipaldi from Petty Enterprises, who is entering Fittipaldi in several Cup, Grand National and Automobile Racing Club of America races this season.
"We feel Christian Fittipaldi will add a lot to our effort. He is a rookie at the big ovals but with his Formula One and Indy car background, he is no stranger to going fast," Petree said.
"We're looking for a very strong Speed Weeks."
APR has scaled back its staff since the conclusion of the 2002 season. The team lost its sponsor on the No. 55 Chevrolet.
