February 12 - With the 2006 season up and running, FBG Racing CEO Frank Gordon was eager to start recruitment. He quickly resigned 4-time NASCAR Champion Jeff Gordon (#24, Dupont), as well as veteran FBG driver and 2003 NASCAR Champion Matt Kenseth (#17, DeWalt). After successfully negotiating a change in sponsorship, Jamie McMurray (#26, Crown Royal) was resigned to FBG Racing. In a somewhat surprise move, former Griffin Motorsports veteran Ryan Newman was drawn from the GM garage and signed with FBG. As alternates, veteran Mark Martin (#6, AAA) and rookie Martin Truex, Jr. (#1, Bass Pro Shops) will anxiously await their chance to earn points for the team, as two-time NASCAR Champion and FBG Racing captain Tony Stewart looks to lead his teammates to a second G2 Championship.
