Keselowski confident about sponsorship for #88:

Sponsorship for the #88 JR Motorsports Nationwide Series team has yet to be announced, but driver Brad Keselowski said he isnt worried about the future. The U.S. Navy decided to end its NASCAR involvement at the end of the 2008 season, leaving Keselowski without a backer for 2009. Team co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. has had to cut back JR Motorsports #5 entry to a limited schedule because of a lack of sponsorship, but the #88 team remains full time. Keselowski said his team will use a combination of sponsors for 09. Were pretty good, Keselowski said. I think were going to be in good shape. Actually, we feel like were going to be stronger [financially] than we were last year with the package we have now, which is good.(Scene Daily)(12-15-2008)
