NASCAR team will not continue next year

Steve Turner has big plans for Turner Motorsports, which expanded its Camping World Truck Series operations to the Nationwide Series beginning this weekend when it was announced Friday that he had bought the four-car operation of Braun Racing. The plans for the organization on the Nationwide Series side include replacing Brian Scott after Dover with Turner's current Camping World Truck Series drivers Ricky Carmichael and James Buescher. Braun driver Tayler Malsam also will be phased out. Jason Leffler and Reed Sorenson will keep their Nationwide rides through the end of the year and it is possible they will remain with the team. The team plans to run three trucks and three Nationwide cars next year because the economics of running those operations lend themselves to have three teams, Turner said. Turner also said he will shut down the part-time Sprint Cup operation fielded by Braun this year. Scene Daily
