JR Motorsports scaling back? hearing there were 15-18 people laid off at JR Motorsports, who field the #88 US Navy Chevy and #5 Chevy in the Nationwide Series. JR Motorsports is a joint venture between Sprint Cup driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. [#88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevy] and Hendrick Motorsports. Also been told that the #5 team may not run in 2009 and that the 10-race Unilever sponsorship announced at Lowe's Motor Speedway may end up going to the #88 team and driver Brad Keselowski, a team without a sponsor for 2009 as the Navy is leaving. Mark Martin, Earnhardt and Hendrick development driver Landon Cassill are scheduled to drive the #5 NNS ride in those 10 races. No word how this effects Cassill's 2009 plans with the team.(10-29-2008)

FORTH WORTH, Texas - 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."
