DAYTONA BEACH, FL - Faith Motorsports and Morgan Shepherd will not be attending NASCAR's Pre-Season Thunder test session January 8-10 at Daytona, the team announced January 7.
The team had registered and was scheduled to test at the first of two sessions, but does not have a speedway car ready to test and has not been able to obtain a car that is race ready from another Dodge team, co-owner Dana Tomes said.
"If things come together this week we will try to make next week's session, but if not we will probably not be able to do a speedway test before the season starts," Tomes said. "We are involved heavily in sponsorship talks with various potential sponsors right now and we should know in a week or two what we will be able to do this season as far as how many races we will be able to enter. We are hopeful that we can secure sponsorship to run the whole year, but right now those negotiations are still ongoing."
Tomes said the team is open to running in NASCAR's Busch or Craftsman Truck Series if a potential sponsor has that desire.
"Right now we are discussing several different options," he said. "There is a chance that nothing will come of any of it, but we are optimistic that prior to the Daytona events in February we will have something to announce."
