Tony Eury Sr. says he’ll continue as a crew chief at JR Motorsports in 2010, even as driver Brad Keselowski leaves the NASCAR Nationwide Series team for Penske Racing. Eury Sr. also serves as competition director for JRM and had to be convinced to serve as a crew chief by team co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. “I guess I’m going to be,” Eury Sr. said of next season. “I can’t say 100 percent. We really don’t know what all is going on with our program yet. We do know the #88’s going to run full time. We possibly could have two full-time cars. We could even have a third car run part time.” Kelly Bires is taking Keselowski’s place and will likely drive the #88 with Eury Sr. as crew chief. But Eury Sr. said the team has talked to a lot of drivers about the team’s second car, the #5 entry, for next season.(SceneDaily)(10-26-2009)
