Holigan Racing and driver David Starr have parted ways, owner Michael Holigan announced this morning. The new driver for the #50 Enzyte Chevrolet in the NASCAR Busch Series has not been determined. “Because of his responsibilities to his Truck series team, David asked to be released from the rest of the races this year with our team,” Holigan said. “We are great friends with David and, while we are sorry he will not be with our team, we totally understand his need to be with a team running the full season. We wish him the best.” Holigan Racing is beginning discussions with possible successors for the remainder of this year’s partial NASCAR Busch Series schedule and next season’s full schedule. “We are beginning to interview Cup and Busch drivers to finish the season for us and to help us continue to prepare for next year’s full schedule,” Holigan said. “We want to find the right driver to help us continue to build our fleet and to help us in our testing and preparation for next year’s full season.” Team Enzyte, along with its sister Samsung/Radio Shack AMA Motocross team, is the subject of television’s most-watched motorsports reality show, The Reality Of Speed, which airs at 10:30 a.m. Eastern and Pacific times, and 9:30 a.m. Central time, on Spike TV. There has been a new show every single week since it debuted Saturday, Jan. 3.(Williams Company PR)(5-10-2004)
UPDATE: was at Lowe’s Motor Speedway practice on Tuesday [5/11] and Tim Sauter and Regan Smith practiced the #50, Sauter backed the car into the wall. No word on if either driver will be the new driver.(5-11-2004)
