Evernham Motorsports, as part of the initial agreement, was to provide the engines for Casey Atwood and the No. 7 Sirius Satellite Dodge. But, when Atwood was let go just prior to the partnership spilt earlier this week, Ultra was in need of some horsepower.

So, Mike Ege Engines will now be the engine providers for the No. 7 Dodge for the last two races of the season. It's unknown whether or not the deal will continue into next year.

Ege currently provides motors for the three teams of Petty Enterprises.
