Busch JGR Nationwide team will miss California race
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Kyle Busch finished second to Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Tony Stewart in Saturday’s Camping World 300 Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway, but the No. 18 team will skip the upcoming race at California Speedway.
JGR’s No. 18 and No. 20 teams ran the full schedule in 2007 and the team wanted to run both cars full time this season. But a lack of sponsorship will keep the No. 18 from running all of the 35 Nationwide races in 2008.
“We’ll start by missing California,” said Steve de Souza, who runs JGR’s Nationwide teams. “We’ve got a fairly good schedule of races for that car sold, but we don’t have all the races sold right now. We just have to make good business decisions.”
The No. 20 will continue to run full time this year.
