The 54 team has been the lone JGR entry for most of the 2010 Season. Injuries, finances, and death have forced the team to become a less-than-full-schedule team and program. Rob Neises remains the driver, now in his 15th year running/driving for JGR.
Neises has fielded most makes and ran most mods available in a helter-skelter schedule that has precluded him from making any serious run at any points championships. The closest is in ISRS Sprint Cup, where he has a one point lead two races into the chase. Neises runs primarily at East Coast Thunder in online racing. He goes by the handle "DaBandit", and also hosts an internet show based on racing at ECT. Neises joined a Nationwide Series at TTR, and has cars ready for their Sprint Cup and Camping World Series, with sponsorship from A&W Root Beer. A&W also is the primary on Neises' ISRS Sprint Cup effort.
This Week @ ECT/JGR Video Production, John Deere, and Coleman all have shared time as primary sponsors on the various rides at ECT....Updated: 10/20/2010
