After competing in 35 Sprint Cup races for Phil Parsons Racing in 2014, Josh Wise will return to the driver’s seat for the team in 2015. Wise, who is in his first season with Phil Parsons Racing, finished 36th in the final point standings. Finishing on the lead lap four times, Wise’s best finish of 2014, a 20th place effort, came at Talladega in May. Wise talked about how he wants to continue driving for the single-car operation. ‘This is where I plan to be,’ he said. ‘I think that [co-owner] Phil [Parsons], myself, we all came into this this year knowing that we wanted to work hard and build this thing from the ground up.’ Phil Parsons said he’s grateful for the team’s backing from different sponsors this year. Parsons hopes 2015 can attract more sponsorship, but said the off-season will be a busy time. ‘We’ll be in a building mode,’ he said. ‘People don’t realize you don’t have quite the travel that you have during the season, obviously, but you work just as hard-probably more hours during the off-season, building new cars, repairing cars, putting new bodies on cars, things like that.’(The Racing Experts)
