One of NASCAR's most e♌nduring team principals Junie Donlavey has admitted that his team will not return to NASCAR and that at the age of 81 his career as a team boss is over.

Donlavey, whose #90 team last ran a Nextel Cup race in 2002, is NASCAR's longest ser🌃ving team boss and made a hugely popular appearance at the Richmond International Raceway last weekend where he told reporters there was no way he would be bringing his team back for even a token appearance.

Although Donlavey still keeps his workshop open he told a large throng of press that the only real activity that occurs there is when prospective buyers turn up to view his last couple of chassis 💯that are for sale.

His team may have only won one Cup Series race in its 50-year history ♛but it provided NASCAR with a host of top name drivers who all serv༒ed their apprenticeship with the Virginia based outfit.

"There's no way in the worl෴d I'd try to make a comeback now," said the ex-WWII serviceman. "As far as racing's concerned, I've done all I'm gonna do."
