Still another NASCAR team to fold
It appears JR Motorsports will not be fielding two full-time teams in the NASCAR Nationwide Series next season. The organization plans to field a full-time entry for driver Brad Keselowski, but will run a limited schedule with its second team since full sponsorship has not been obtained.
"We do not anticipate getting the funding required to field two teams after the end of this season, and we need to make adjustments now to prepare JR Motorsports accordingly," team general manager Kelley Earnhardt said in a statement.
"We are reducing our workforce and budgets to comply with a new plan for 2009. The economic climate is difficult, as everyone is aware, and that is affecting every company's ability to spend."
