There are 50 entries, including Scott Wimmer in a JR Motorsports car, for the Nationwide Series Scotts Turf Builder 300 this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Eleven full-time Sprint Cup drivers are in the mix. Among the entries are the three drivers competing for the championship in both series: Roush Fenway Racing’s Carl Edwards and Paul Menard and Penske Racing’s Brad Keselowski.
Other full-time Cup drivers entered are Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch and Joey Logano, Baker Curb Racing’s Greg Biffle, Kevin Harvick Inc.’s Kevin Harvick, Braun Racing’s Kasey Kahne, Key Motorsports’ Mike Bliss, Nemco Motorsports’ Joe Nemechek, and MSRP Motorsports’ David Gilliland.
Kahne is entered in the No. 38 normally driven by Jason Leffler, who will move to the No. 10 Braun Racing car for Bristol.
Wimmer is entered in the JR Motorsports No. 7 car, which was driven by Danica Patrick in the first three races. That car – currently 35th in owner points – must enter every race and be in the top 30 in owner points for Patrick to be guaranteed a spot when she returns to the car in June at New Hampshire.
