JR Motorsports announced that Kelly Bires will make his team debut driving the #5 Chevy in the NASCAR Nationwide Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 21 with primary sponsorship from Rag. Rag has been a season-long partner with JRM, but this marks its first primary paint scheme with the team. “We wanted to get Kelly in one of our cars before the season was out,” said team co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. “Rag has been with us since the beginning of the year, and I appreciate them stepping up their involvement and helping us put this deal together. It’s important that Kelly hit the ground running at Daytona next year, and this certainly helps.”(JR Motorsports PR)(11-17-2009)
