Premium Motorsports, formerly called Jay Robinson Racing (JRR), is an American professional team that currently competes in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, and the Camping World Truck Series. The team competed for most of its history in the Nationwide Series (now the Xfinity Series), before moving to the Cup Series in 2012. The team folded in late 2012 and Robinson moved into a partner role at NEMCO Motorsports (renamed NEMCO-JRR Motorsports), and later was a partner in the successor team Identity Ventures Racing. For 2015, Robinson began fielding NASCAR entries again, planning to run both the Sprint Cup Series and the Camping World Truck Series. Mike Hillman's 40 team was absorbed by Premium in January 2016.
In the Monster Energy Cup Series, the team currently fields the No. 15 Toyota Camry, and Chevrolet SS full-time, and the No. 55 RTIC Coolers/Speed Stick Toyota Camry, and Chevrolet SS part-time. In the Camping World Truck Series, the team currently fields the No. 49 Chevrolet Silverado full-time for [[Wendell Chavous].
In early May 2015, it was reported that Phil Parsons Racing with Mike Curb would be selling their No. 98 team driven by Josh Wise to Premium owner Jay Robinson. Evidence for the change in ownership included the removal of the logos of PPR sponsor Phoenix Construction (owned by former team owner James Finch) from the car prior to the GEICO 500 at Talladega, replaced with Premium sponsor Royal Teak Collections. The ownership change was announced on May 5, the Monday after the race, on the team's Twitter. Premium Motorsports officially took over the No. 98 team at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, with Royal Teak once again sponsoring the car, and Wise remaining as the driver. Dogecoin returned to the 98 car at Sonoma, where the team ran a Chevrolet.Big Red soda signed on as sponsor for four races beginning at Kentucky in July, where Wise was taken out early in a crash, finishing 43rd. Wise announced the following week that he had left Premium Motorsports, due to differences in opinion about the direction the team was going in comparison to Phil Parsons Racing. This was the second driver that left the team in a span of three days after Brendan Gaughan announced his departure Friday, July 10. Robinson later stated the move was due to sponsorship circumstances.
