Team Rensi Motorsports was a NASCAR Nationwide Series team owned by Ronnie Russell, Ed Rensi, Gary Weisbaum, and formerly Sam Rensi. The team has also competed in the Winston Cup Series, Craftsman Truck Series, and ARCA racing series. ==Car #24 History== The #24 team debuted in 2005 as the #35 being driven by veteran Jason Keller with sponsorship from McDonald's. Despite a ninth-place finish in points, Keller struggled to run up front, and he left for Phoenix Racing at the end of the season. Regan Smith took his place in 2006, and had one top-ten finish. Smith departed from the ride for Ginn Racing. Hamilton returned to Rensi to drive the #35 for the 2007 season, finishing sixth in points. During the 2007-08 offseason, McDonald's ended its sponsorship of the #35 and David Gilliland took the FreeCreditReport.com sponsorship of the #25 car to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Team Rensi signed Smithfield Foods as prime sponsor of the #25 car, allowing Hamilton to move to that team. The 35 did run until late in 2008 with Danny O'Quinn driving, but he failed to finish both races he ran. The car will make a return to full-time racing in 2009, with Eric McClure bringing both Hefty sponsorship and the #24 over from Front Row Motorsports. In 2010, McClure and Hefty remained with the team. After surgery on his foot, McClure was relieved by driver Chris Cook at Road America. DJ Kennington raced the car at Montreal to an 11th place finish, as McClure sat out of the race due to a concussion the prior week from Bristol. McClure and Hefty will leave the team for 2011, citing performance issues and a lacking budget from Team Rensi. For 2011, Kevin Lepage drove the car for the first several races of the season. Lepage ran full races initially, but was forced to withdraw from Bristol after a practice crash and did not arrive at Talladega. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Team Rensi Motorsports」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
