JR Motorsports will continue its search for its new development driver this week in the June 5 Nationwide Series race at Nashville Superspeedway as Coleman Pressley will drive the #88 car and Josh Wise will drive the #7 car, a team spokesman confirmed Sunday. Wise, a former Michael Waltrip Racing development driver, has been driving this season for Specialty Racing, a low-budget Nationwide team. The 27-year-old Wise, who has driven for Tony Stewart Racing in USAC and won the 2005 USAC Midget national title, has a best NASCAR Nationwide Series finish of fifth at OReilly Raceway Park in 2008 driving for Fitz Motorsports. Pressley, son of former Nationwide Series driver Robert Pressley, has eight career Nationwide Series starts, including three this year for R3 Motorsports. The 21-year-old Pressley has 26 short-track victories in his career and has a best Nationwide finish of 15th earlier this month at Darlington.(Scene Daily)(5-30-2010)
