JR Motorsports will be looking for a sponsor for Brad Keselowski next season after being informed that the Navy will not return as a sponsor for the Nationwide Series team.
 
Keselowski scored his first win earlier this year at Nashville Superspeedway and sits second in the current standings.
 
"We were informed last week that our sponsorship with the U.S. Navy will not renew at the end of the year,” team spokesman Mike Davis said Tuesday. “It's been an exceptional partnership since 2005, and we look forward to a strong finish to the season.”
 
JR Motorsports, owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Rick Hendrick, fields two teams in the Nationwide Series – one for Keselowski and another shared by Hendrick Motorsports’ Sprint Cup drivers and development driver Landon Cassill.
