JR Motorsports to Cup?

JR Motorsports started its Nationwide Series program just a couple of years ago, but owner Dale Earnhardt, Jr figures the team may be ready to make the jump to Sprint Cup if the right opportunities arose.

�I used to say no way, no way. But it�s almost as expensive to run in the Nationwide Series. And their going to bring a CoT in and we won�t be able to race in the Nationwide Series with the CoT probably. That�ll just be too expensive to switch all that over,� Earnhardt said at weekly top 12 drivers press conference. �If the right opportunity comes along with the right sponsorship and driver, we�d love to do it. And it would cost the same amount of money to do that, as it is to run the Nationwide Series. It�s harder to get sponsorships. And the CoT program is going to be too expensive for me to justify creating a whole new program with CoT stuff, so I�d just as soon go into the Cup Series or get out of the Nationwide Series altogether.�
