2008 Season Outlook
Jay Robinson Racing's single car #28 team will again plug away in 2008, attempting every single race. With sponsorship for 27 of 36 races, the team's funding is stable enough that start-and-parking shouldn't need to be the only option. Last season, the 35 races were split by Blake Bjorklund, Derrike Cope, Jeff Green, Niclas Jonsson, German Quiroga Jr., Robert Richardson Jr., and Johnny Sauter, with Richardson Jr. getting the most starts. That won't change in '08, as Richardson Jr., of the 7 drivers signed for this season, will handle driving duties for 10 of them. Jonsson, Quiroga Jr., and Sauter are gone while the remaining 3 return, and the replacements for the departees are Dennis Setzer, Willie Allen, and road course specialist Chris Cook. Setzer is a Truck veteran, having raced full-time in the series the past 9 seasons, earning 3 runner up points finishes and 16 wins over those full-time seasons. He'll bring veteran presence to the team, which should help Willie Allen, a Truck rookie from last year with ThorSport Racing. Allen's inexperience showed as he finished 15th in points with just 1 top 10 finish in 25 races, but Jay Robinson sees his potential and will give him a chance in 4 races. Cook, meanwhile, will run the 4 road course races. He has dabbled in multiple forms of racing, from road racing to NASCAR to late models, but his claim to fame is that he taught Tony Stewart, widely-regarded as one of the best road racers in NASCAR, the art of road racing. His presence adds to the experience level of the team, which is mixed. No driver will have a consistent opportunity to get in a rhythm, though, so despite the veteran presence and stable funding, don't expect too much out of the #28 team.
