“We
certainly appreciate all the support that Toyota Racing Development has
provided to JTG Daugherty Racing for five years and we are great fans of their
business model,” JTG Daugherty Racing co-owner Tad Geschickter said.
“As
a single-car team, we feel that aligning directly with a successful multi-car
organization like Richard Childress Racing is what will work best for us in
2014.”
After
nearly 15 years of success in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, JTG Daugherty
Racing ventured into the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with driver Marcos Ambrose at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July of 2008. Ambrose went on to score the
team’s career-best finish with second-place at Watkins Glen International on
August 10, 2009.
2000
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Bobby Labonte took the reins in 2011 and
delivered his best finish with the team at Daytona International Speedway on
February, 20, 2011 when he crossed the finish line in fourth-place. This season
AJ Allmendinger has earned the team’s best finish of the season (10th-place)
at Watkins Glen International in August and will be behind the wheel of the No.
47 full-time starting in 2014.
“With
our RCR alliance and AJ behind the wheel, we are looking forward to a fresh
start in 2014,” Geschickter said.
