R Motorsports owner Dale Earnhardt Jr will drive the No. 88 Hellman’s Chevy for his team in the Nationwide season opener at Daytona. Dale Jr will take the seat due to sponsorship reasons. Kelly Bires, who will drive the No. 88 for most — if not all — of the season, or Danica Patrick will drive a second JRM car at Daytona. Mark Martin’s name is also in the mix for the second car. A decision on which driver will be made after the ARCA Series Daytona race.
