| | By Bob Pockrass / SceneDaily.com DAYTONA BEACH, FL -- Richard Childress Racing still needs to find sponsorship for development driver Tim McCreadie in the team's No. 21 Nationwide Series car.
Bobby Labonte will drive the car in 15 races, but the rest of the season is unsponsored, Vice President of Competition Mike Dillon said Monday at Daytona International Speedway.
"We've got a commitment to Bobby for the races he's going to run," Dillon said. "We're still trying to sell sponsorship for it, and if we can get it done, we'll get McCreadie in it."
RCR already has plans to run two teams the entire season - the defending owners champion No. 29 team with Jeff Burton and Scott Wimmer and the No. 2 team with Clint Bowyer.
RCR driver Kevin Harvick will drive exclusively for the team he owns in the Nationwide Series in 2008. KHI and RCR have agreed to share engineering information and notes during the year.
Dillon also said that plans for Kirk Shelmerdine to run in the Daytona 500 in the Sprint Cup Series have not yet been completed. Shelmerdine tested the No. 33 car last week.
