McCumbee and MRD struggled, missing the season opening GM Flex Fuel 250.

However, owner Gene Haas decided to move Bjorklund up to the Busch Series to pilot Jay Robinson Racing's No.

Chad McCumbee would return to MRD after struggling with Green Light Racing, taking his sponsors The GPS Store and Garmin with him.
