JR Motorsports exploring options for two Nationwide Series teams in 2010
Press ReleaseJR Motorsports is considering several drivers for its two NASCAR Nationwide Series teams next year, team spokesman Mike Davis said Tuesday, although he declined to identify them.
The team’s main driver for the last two seasons, Brad Keselowski, is leaving for Penske Racing. Keselowski finished third in points driving the No. 88 car last year and is third in the points this year in that car.
JR Motorsports also has entered the No. 5 car in several races with a variety of drivers, including team co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mark Martin, Ryan Newman, Scott Wimmer and Ron Fellows, and Tony Stewart is also slated to drive before the end of the year.
Davis said whether both teams will run full time depends on sponsorship as the organization is currently working on renewals with its sponsors. The organization has not announced any sponsor-driver lineup for 2010.
