"MWR to run three cars in 2014: Despite NAPAs decision not to return to MWR in 2014, and driver Martin Truex Jr. and crew chief Chad Johnston opting to move on, team owner Rob Kauffman told FOXSports.com that three teams will operate out of the shop next year. "Well have two full-time cars and a third car that will run part-time, Kauffman said. Its really kind of as simple as that. Its not going to run for the championship so it will have the flexibility to try stuff but the same as everybody else has to pass tech each week and make sure everythings correct. But it is a third car. It will help us keep the core of the team a little bit more substantial by keeping the engineering staff full, the pit crews are still able to keep in practice and keep going through the motions, so if in 15 we can scale back up to a third car, the infrastructure would still be in place. Its kind of a little bit of a diet, then maybe you can get back to a playing weight by 15. When asked who the driver would be for the third car, Kauffman said coyly, There is one. Pressed whether that driver was Jeff Burton, he replied, There is a list.(FoxSports)(11-10-2013)"
