"I have spent a lot of time with Brandon this year and I can tell you he is here to win," Stremme said. "I have never been so excited for a new season as I am for 2013. I'm ready to get started now."

Davis has hired veteran Steve Hmiel as director of competition, and said he'll have a new crew chief in place by the end of the week. He's also expanded the team roster from seven employees to 13 and said more hires will be made before the season begins in February.

"Since coming on I've been learning as much as I can. What's needed, what we have, what are the weaknesses and what are the strengths," Davis said. "The weaknesses are we need more people and more money. Steve Hmiel will take care of the personnel and I'll take care of the money."

Swan Energy will be the primary sponsor, but Davis said he's in discussions with associate sponsors.
