"Year after year, he has shown that he can be a constant candidate to win races and make the Chase for the Nextel Cup," Ray Evernham said Saturday at Dover International Speedway. "He has been a great team player for Evernham Motorsports."

"Ray has made a commitment to make this a championship team," Mayfield said. "I have no doubt in the potential of this team."
Terms of the contract weren't revealed.
