CONCORD, N.C -- Roush Fenway Racing announced Tuesday that iLevel by Weyerhaeuser will return in 2007 as a primary sponsor on Matt Kenseth's No. 17 Ford Fusion for four Busch Series races.

The first race in which Kenseth's No. 17 will feature iLevel as the primary sponsor will be this weekend at Phoenix. iLevel will also be the primary sponsor for Dover in September and Charlotte in October. iLevel will finish out its season at Texas in November.

iLevel by Weyerhaeuser was a primary sponsor for four races in 2006, splitting time between Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards. The combination of the two drivers proved successful as iLevel finished 2006 with three top-five finishes in just four starts. Biffle and Edwards both fell just short of earning a win for iLevel; Edwards finished second at Dover, while Biffle finished second at Richmond.

"I looked on the calendar and saw the four iLevel races (Phoenix, Dover, Charlotte and Texas) and thought to myself, 'Hey, those four races are pretty good ones for them to be on board,'" Kenseth said. "Historically, we've had a lot of success at those tracks and they're definitely among my favorites.

"I've been fortunate enough to win at all four of them and would love to add to that total when we go back this year with Drew [Blickensderfer] and the Busch car. I know iLevel came close to getting to Victory Lane last year, ideally we'll be able to take them there at least once in 2007."

iLevel by Weyerhaeuser is looking forward to the 2007 season with Kenseth.

"Roush Fenway Racing and iLevel are alike in many ways," said Carlos Guilherme, vice president of sales for iLevel by Weyerhaeuser. "We're both dedicated to innovation, high performance, getting the job done right and doing it in a safe way. It's a natural fit for us to sponsor Matt and we're excited to continue teaming up with Roush Fenway Racing for the 2007 season. This is a tremendous opportunity for iLevel to give our customers a once in a lifetime experience."
