JTG to skip Unlimited due to sponsorship, B.Scott likely skipping as well

[AMLNet49]

According to Tad Geschickter, NASCAR announced the inclusion of his team too late so they were not able to get sponsorship for the event. He said that had NASCAR announced the changes sooner he would have been able to sell sponsorship and would have run the race.

It is not confirmed but Brian Scott is also expected to skip the Unlimited as well.

Should they both skip, Menard and Mears would be the replacements.
(Ironically enough two more RCR affiliated cars, so they don't really lose anything by not having the #33 and the #47 in the race because they get the #27 and the #13 in anyway.)

Kinda sounds like taking one for the team to me

I knew I didn't want my boy AJ running with this crowd...

Plot twist: Mears or Menard get injured, Dinger fills in and wins.

Unlikely, but it would be amazing.

There's some really interesting stories behind one team or another's ability to "sell sponsorship" that we will never hear. That makes me sad. I want in on those stories.
