Robby Gordon to JR Motorsports

JR Motorsports, the NASCAR team owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr., is making another driver change for the next two Busch Series races.
Robby Gordon, who has his own team in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, will drive for JR Motorsports in the races at Michigan International Speedway and California Speedway, Earnhardt Jr. said Monday.
Martin Truex was in the No. 88 car for JR Motorsports for the Busch Series race at Watkins Glen in New York on Saturday. He started the race 11th and finished sixth.
Mark McFarland was released from JR Motorsports before the Watkins Glen race. McFarland had one top-10 finish in 21 races this year for JR Motorsports.
“We’re looking to improve our performance in the Busch Series, so we’ve been making changes to get to where we need to be,� said Earnhardt Jr. “Martin was a big help last week and we’re going to continue our due diligence with Robby Gordon this weekend in Michigan. He brings a ton of experience and will be able to relay some good feedback on our cars. Robby’s got more on his resume than any driver in the series, he’s raced in everything from the Indianapolis 500 to the Baja 1000, and I appreciate the fact that he’s willing to help JR Motorsports out.�
Gordon has one previous Busch Series start at each track and finished 12th in both races.
