Cline Debut Postponed:

LR2 Motorsports, fielding the #01 Chevrolets for Troy Cline in the NASCAR Busch Series this year, has decided to postpone the teams debut until the Funai 250 at Richmond International Raceway on May 13. The team had originally been entered in next weeks event at Nashville. We just weren’t 100% ready to compete on the level we are capable of, so I withdrew LR2’s entry for the Pepsi 300 at Nashville on March 26, said LR2 Motorsports co-owner Rick Russell. We have the best equipment available, the best driver for the job, and backing most teams would kill for, but being a little rushed and not being able to test prior to the event brought about the decision. LR2 Motorsports and driver Troy Cline are looking toward Richmond with both determination and optimism. Russell noted, We will definitely test for that event, and go to Richmond at 100%. With the level of competition in the Busch Series each week, anything less than 100% isn’t enough. Troy Cline and LR2 Motorsports are still actively seeking primary sponsorship.
