Brendan Gaughan, Josh Wise both out at Premium Motorsports

Brendan Gaughan and Josh Wise have both departed the #62 and #98 machines at Cup team Premium Motorsports, leaving the team with no permanent drivers. Gaughan, a full-time Xfinity Series drivers for Richard Childress Racing in the #62 Chevrolet, joined Premium in February with RCR support. The #62 Cup team was formed from the defunct #36 Chevrolet team of Tommy Baldwin Racing, whose #7 Chevrolet is still active and currently driven by Alex Bowman. Fellow RCR Xfinity driver Brian Scott attempted but failed to put the #62 car into the Daytona 500 in February. Reed Sorenson drove the car at Kentucky, where Gaughan parted ways with Premium the same weekend. Wise, famous for his occasional "Dogecoin" sponsorship, came on board with the #98 when Ford team Phil Parsons Racing ceased operations last month, and had competed in the last three Cup races.
