Brewco sold? To JGR?


From Jayski.com:

Brewco Sold? It's been a tough year for owners that focus primarily on the Busch Series. Three-quarters into the season, some longtime teams have either closed up shop or are standing idle due to lack of sponsorship. Looks like Brewco Motorsports is next in line for a drastic change. Two reliable sources have told Frontstretch.com that a deal was made to sell Brewco to a financial partner on Wednesday afternoon. When reached for comment, Todd Wilkerson of Brewco PR denied the sale, but did admit the organization has been working with one potential partner for awhile now and that "Hopefully, they'd have something to announce pretty quick." Speculation from a source claims that "partner" is Joe Gibbs Racing.(Fronstretch.com Newsletter)(9-13-2007)

UPDATE 4:
Former track owner Gary Baker has purchased controlling interest in Brewco Motorsports and intends to move the team to Nashville, Tenn., possibly by the end of the year. The team announced Friday that Baker had joined the team's ownership group, but a source said Baker would have control of the team. Team president Todd Wilkerson, who said he will remain with the team as a consultant, said the deal was necessitated by the increased cost and competition in the Busch Series. The team's name could eventually change as part of the deal, perhaps to Baker Brewco Motorsports or something similar.(SceneDaily.com)(9-15-2007)
