2008 Season Outlook
JTG Racing hands over the keys to the #47 Clorox Ford to Kelly Bires for the full season in 2008, increasing his schedule from 19 to 36 races. He took over beginning with the 15th race of the season and will continue to hold the seat again this year. He'll also continue working with crew chief Scott Zipadelli as he looks to improve upon his 2 top 10 finishes. At just 22 years old, Bires likely has lots of racing ahead of him, and a promising finish to 2007 gives him hope for a solid 2008 campaign. In the last 5 races of the season, Bires averaged a 16.8 average finish and completed all but one lap, valuable track time that should give him good confidence. The JTG team is well-funded and has been around for some time, and will do whatever they can to help Bires feel comfortable in the car. Based on his 2007 conclusion and with a full offseason to prepare, fans should look for Bires to improve tremendously and possibly even breakout this season as he attempts to get the #47 to Victory Lane.
