2008 Outlook:

JTG Daugherty Racing Excited About Upcoming Season 

Team Expects Bold Off-season Moves to Deliver Performance for Drivers Ambrose, Bires, and Pressley 

The last 180 days have been the busiest period that JTG Racing owners Jodi & Tad Geschickter can recall.  Notes the couple, “We are embarking on our 14th season in the Nationwide Series and we don't think things have ever seemed faster paced.  We also don't think we've ever been more excited about the team we've assembled for the upcoming season.”

In addition to changing the nature of their business relationship with the Wood Brothers to allow each company to tighten spans of control and make quicker decisions, JTG Racing added several key players to its roster to build on the team's 2007 success.

Former Hendrick Motorsports manager Butch Lamoreux was installed as Racing Operations Director in August and his impact was immediately noticeable.  The #59 and #47 teams delivered more top 15 finishes, more laps led and run within the top 10, and significantly higher average qualifying position than in the previous two seasons combined.  Lamoreux spent two seasons with JTG in the late '90's before moving to Hendrick Motorsports to broaden his horizons.

Industry renowned engineer Ken Douglas is now JTG Racing's Technical Director.  In recent years Douglas helped develop Mo-tech Data Systems and drove the company's race data acquisition products to industry prominence.  He also served as Director of Engineering for Stone Brothers Racing in Australia during consecutive V-8 Supercar Championships.

Scott Zipadelli will continue as Crew Chief for driver Kelly Bires and the Clorox Ford.  The pair showed real promise down the stretch in '07 and Zipadelli expects to build on that momentum, “Last year was a learning experience for Kelly and me.  We all really came together as a team in the last few months of the season.”

Gary Cogswell is once again on top of the pit box for Marcos Ambrose. This time it is in the Nationwide Series with the #59 Ford Fusion. Cogswell previously was the Crew Chief of the #20 Ford F-150 piloted by Marcos in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2006.

Greg Conner will serve as Crew Chief for the team's R&D efforts.  In addition, he will be on the pit box for Ambrose' Nationwide Series races that fall on weekends when JTG helps alleviate some scheduling conflicts for the Wood Brothers by fielding a four race Sprint Cup campaign for Ambrose and his Cup Sponsor Little Debbie Snacks.
