JR Motorsports’move to Cup in 2010 not likely

You can’t cross JR Motorsports totally off of Brad Keselowski’s list for a fulltime Sprint Cup ride in 2010, but it doesn’t seem likely. Dale Earnhardt Jr., who co-owns JR Motorsports with Rick Hendrick, said on Friday it would be “quite a challenge for anybody to find the kind of financial support you need” to make the move from the Nationwide Series to Cup. He also talked more of Keselowski, who drives the JR Motorsports Nationwide car, as though he would be somewhere else after this season and how he looked forward to preparing another driver for the Cup series.
“The way I see it Brad has a ton of opportunities and the doors are wide open for him,” Earnhardt said. “We have to look at what our chances are for moving into the Cup series before we can put that before Brad.”

You heard it hear first, Jr dumps Brad, and gets Danica in the car with Go-Daddy as the sponsor, also running limited cup races. Then in 2011 she’ll be full time in Cup.
That’s a great theory and extremely workable. What sponsor deal that would be…

hmm.. it does seem the most plausable. Jr and danica are both under the godaddy umbrella.
i’m sure Hendrick would either loan him or sell him some Sprint Cup cars if Dale could get some sponsorship for Brad.

i doubt Dale would hire Danica, i mean she has a temper problem like Tony Stewart and Kurt Bush use to, and if i remember correctly almost got one of them suspended. if Danica doesn’t learn to play nice i feel she would be suspended, i mean Nascar had already stated, i think two years ago with the Harvick and Montoya problem up at The Glen, that they weren’t going to tolerate that type of behavior anymore.
