Red Bull Racing Team announced Wednesday that Reed Sorenson will drive the No. 83 Red Bull Toyota beginning with the June 27 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Sorenson will replace Casey Mears.
"Our unique situation has afforded us the opportunity to try some different things, and we're continuing to do that with Reed," said Jay Frye, RBRT's vice president and general manager. "We appreciate Casey's work and everything he's done the past five weeks."
Sorenson, 24, made his Sprint Cup debut in October 2005 at Atlanta. He's made 148 Cup starts - three this season - with five top-five and 14 top-10 finishes. His best season came in 2007 when he earned three top fives and six top 10s, including his first pole at Indianapolis.
In May at Dover, Mears began filling in for regular No. 83 driver Brian Vickers, who will miss the remainder of the season while he's on a blood thinner to dissolve clots in his left leg and lungs.
