Driver to pilot No. 32 Go Green Racing at Indianapolis
RELATED: Wise leaves Premium Motorsports
Josh Wise will drive the No. 32 Go Green Racing Ford next weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, returning to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series after leaving the No. 98 Premium Motorsports ride last Monday.
Wise announced the news of his new ride on Twitter, just as he had revealed he would be leaving his former team after 17 races in 2015 and 35 races a year ago. In those 52 starts for Phil Parsons Racing and Premium Motorsports, Wise earned a career-best 10th-place finish at Talladega in May. Timmy Hill replaced Wise in the No. 98 ride this week.

In 16 starts this season, Go Green Racing’s No. 32 has been raced by six drivers with a seventh, Massachusetts native Eddie MacDonald, attempting to make Sunday’s 5-hour Energy 301 (1:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, PRN, SiriusXM) at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Former NASCAR premier series champion Bobby Labonte turned in the team’s best result of 2015 with a 24th-place finish in the season-opening Daytona 500. Mike Bliss, Joey Gase, Will Kimmel, Travis Kvapil and Boris Said have also piloted the Ford Fusion this year.
At Indianapolis, Wise has three starts, improving each season over the past three years. In 2012, he failed to make the finish with a 40th-place result. In 2013, he finished 38th, and last year, he earned a 29th-place finish.
