NASCAR Nationwide Series qualifying should be somewhat dramatic this week as 50 teams attempt to earn a spot in Saturday's Kroger 200 at O'Reilly Raceway Park.
   
Several drivers who do not regularly appear in the series will be in the race, as will a crop who are sharing a ride with other drivers.

Larry Gunselman will return to the No. 0 Davis Motorsports Chevrolet, with Danny Efland running as his teammate. Others returning to rides they've appeared in this season include: Andy Ponstein (No. 02 Stott Classic Racing Chevrolet), Derrike Cope (No. 4 Jay Robinson Racing Chevrolet), Landon Cassill (No. 5 JR Motorsports Chevrolet), Joey Logano (No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota), Josh Wise (No. 22 Fitz Motorsports Dodge), Scott Wimmer (No. 29 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet), Kenny Hendrick (No. 30 Ski Motorsports Chevrolet), James Buescher (No. 32 Braun Racing Toyota), Cale Gale (No. 33 Kevin Harvick Inc. Chevrolet), Bryan Clauson (No. 40 Chip Ganassi Racing Dodge), Kertus Davis (No. 49 Jay Robinson Racing Chevrolet), Nick Tucker (No. 57 Mike Ege Racing Dodge), Chad Beahr (No. 57 Beahr Racing Dodge), Brandon Whitt (No. 61 Specialty Racing Ford), D.J. Kennington (No. 81 MacDonald Motorsports Dodge), Johnny Chapman (No. 90 MSRP Motorsports Chevrolet), Terry Cook (No. 91 MSRP Motorsports Chevrolet) and Brian Keselowski (No. 92 K-Automotive Racing Dodge).

Charles Lewandoski debuts in the No. 36 Fitz Motorsports Dodge, while ThorSport Racing, a Craftsman Truck Series team, will field the No. 13 Chevrolet for Shelby Howard.

Five Sprint Cup drivers are entered: points leader Clint Bowyer (No. 2 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet), David Ragan (No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford), Kyle Busch (No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota), Carl Edwards (No. 60 Roush Fenway Ford) and David Reutimann (No. 99 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota).
