CONCORD, N.C. – Johnny Sauter will drive the No. 70 Haas CNC Racing Chevrolet this weekend at Darlington Raceway, according to an updated Sprint Cup Series entry list for the Dodge Challenger 500. The original entry list had Ken Schrader driving this weekend.

Sauter, who was replaced by Jeremy Mayfield in the No. 70 car after last season, has driven for the team at Phoenix and Richmond this year. He has qualified for both races on speed but has been caught up in accidents in both events with finishes of 37th and 33rd.

“Unfortunately, that’s the way things go sometimes,” Sauter said Tuesday during a break in testing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. “We’ve been decent in the two races I ran and unfortunately I don’t have much to show for it.”

The No. 70 Haas CNC team is 37th in owner points, 109 points out of 35th as it tries to get back to being locked into races.

“There is no junk in the Cup garage,” Sauter said. “Everybody has good stuff, and we’re no different. We’ve got good stuff. We’ve got good people.”
