JD Motorsports renews with G&K Services; signs new crew chiefs:

JD Motorsports w/Gary Keller is even more ready for the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series season than they were in 2012. In addition to resigning primary sponsor G&K Services for a multi-race deal, they have also added some horsepower and support in their shop. The team has entered into a six race agreement with the North American market leader in branded identity apparel programs and facility services. ‘We are excited that G&K Services has decided to come on board again for the 2013 racing season. Their organization sees a benefit in working with our team, and we are pleased to have them as part of our program.” The two-car team will have Mike Wallace returning behind the wheel of the #01 Chevy. And, Danny Efland is driving a very large majority of races in the #4 Chevy. Each of them has a new crew chief for their respective teams. Marc Browning takes over the #01 team for Wallace. His most recent employment was with Parker Kligerman for Team 42 Racing. Dave Smith returns to the JD Motorsports team and will be calling the shots for Efland at the #4 Chevy team. His prior stint with the team included working with Eric McClure and Efland during his tenure at JD Motorsports. He was also with Eddie Sharp Racing. While the team has signed G&K Services, there is still room for more marketing partners on both cars for the 2013 season.(JD Motorsports)
