Josh Wise, the driver of what was until yesterday the #98 Phil Parsons/Mike Curb-owned Ford, is moving to Premium Motorsports, a Cup team that this year evolved out of Jay Robinson Racing following an unsuccessful attempt to bring the Tommy Baldwin #36 Chevrolet to that team. Wise moved to Phil Parsons Racing from fellow Ford team Front Row Motorsports following the 2013 season, and got attention at this time last year when his car got sponsorship from the Reddit community Dogecoin, with the help on the subreddit r/NASCAR, who coined the name "Dogecar" for Wise's machine. He drove the Dogecar at both Talladega races last year and was also voted into the All-Star Race at Charlotte by Reddit members.
Premium Motorsports also fields the #62 Chevrolet with Richard Childress Racing development drivers Brendan Gaughan and Brian Scott having had time behind the wheel of that car in 2015. The #98 car will also become a Chevrolet and will likely receive the same RCR technical support and equipment.
