Brendan Gaughan will be the primary driver for the No. 62 Premium Motorsports car in 2015.
The team announced that Gaughan would take over as driver at Atlanta, the second race of the season. The No. 62 will be driven by Brian Scott in the Daytona 500. Both Scott and Gaughan drive for Richard Childress Racing in the Xfinity Series.
The No. 62 team was founded after buying the assets and points of the No. 36 from Tommy Baldwin Racing. TBR ran the No. 36, primarily with Reed Sorenson driving, as a teammate to the No. 7 car and Michael Annett in 2014. The No. 7 car will remain in 2015 and be driven by Alex Bowman, who came over from BK Racing. Annett will drive for HScott Motorsports in 2015.
Got all that? Good.
Premium, owned by Jay Robinson, a longtime owner in the Xfinity Series, will have two entries in the Daytona 500. Mike Wallace is attempting to qualify the No. 66 car.
Slugger Labbe, formerly Paul Menard's crew chief, will be Scott's crew chief in the Daytona 500. Gaughan's crew chief will be Zach McGowan.
Gaughan ran full-time in the Sprint Cup Series in 2004, when he drove the No. 77 car to four top 10 finishes and a 28th place finish in the points standings. Since then he has six starts in the Cup Series, all coming in 2010 or later. Last season, Gaughan won two races in the Xfinity Series and finished eighth in the points standings.
