Miller lite is moving its #2 to Kurt's team mate Brad Keselowski. Pennzoil left RCR at the end of 2010 to join forces with Kurt and Penske Racing. Therefore Kurt had to take a number change. Everything changes fast. Can barely keep up with it.

Does Jeff Gordon own Jimmie Johnson's race team?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I believe Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson were better friends earlier in Jimmie's career. Jeff did encourage Jimmie to start driving full time in the Nascar Cup Series back in 2002 and is also a co-owner of the #48 car, along with Rick Hendrick. But as time passes and Jimmie keeps on winning more races and championships, you're starting to see Jeff's frustration mount more and more.
