The one-day shows at ORP on Friday and Saturday are precursors to Sunday’s race on the big stage.
A few drivers will pull double-duty in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series events at ORP.
One driver, however, will make starts in those races as well as in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at The Brickyard.
For Kyle Busch, a triple-header isn’t unusual. In fact, he’s run three national series races in the same weekend twice this year, and 33 times in his career. He’s competed in all three Indy events two times, resulting in two victories, both at ORP in NASCAR Nationwide races.
In addition to Busch, double-duty NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers who also will compete in the truck race this weekend are Aric Almirola (No. 88 GT Vodka Chevrolet), Ron Hornaday Jr. (No. 33 Jimmy John’s Chevrolet), Shelby Howard (No. 70 InternationalTrucks.com Chevrolet), Johnny Sauter (No. 27 Baker Curb Racing Ford), Dennis Setzer (No. 92 KAutomotive Motorsports Dodge), David Starr (No. 05 Cash America Chevrolet) and JC Stout (No. 31 Rick Ware Racing Chevrolet).
Substitute drivers, if needed, for those who are pulling double-duty from the Brickyard to ORP for NASCAR Nationwide Series practice and qualifying are Brad Coleman for Busch, Erik Darnell for Carl Edwards and Parker Kligerman for Brad Keselowski. Matt Crafton will handle his regular truck ride in addition to subbing for Paul Menard (No. 99 Richmond/ Menards Ford) as will James Buescher for Reed Sorenson (No. 32 Dollar General Toyota). Joe Nemechek (No. 87 hostgator.com Chevrolet) and Michael McDowell (No. 81 R.J. Finley & Co Dodge) do not have substitutes.
