MB2 Motorsports renamed Ginn Racing.

21 Nov 2006

MB2 Motorsports has changed its name to Ginn Racing, effective immediately.

MB2 Motorsports began operations in July 1996 and the name change is a result of the team's new owner, Bobby Ginn, who recently purchased a majority interest.

Ginn Racing will field three full-time Nextel Cup teams in 2007 with drivers Mark Martin/Regan Smith sharing the No. 01 U.S. Army Chevrolet ride, Joe Nemechek in the No. 13 Chevrolet and Sterling Marlin in the No. 14 Chevrolet.

The organisation will also field a full-time Busch Series team with Smith and Kraig Kinser co-driving a Ginn Racing Chevrolet.

The team's development program includes drivers Jesus Hernandez and Motocross star Ricky Carmichael.

Ginn (pronounced 'Ghin', as in the second syllable of 'be-gin') Racing is based in Mooresville, N.C.

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
