Cup drivers invade Texas Nationwide race

Two of the top three all-time winners at Texas are in Saturday’s event – Kevin Harvick (4) and Mark Martin (3). Harvick is going for his record fourth consecutive fall race win at Texas, in Nationwide competition – but is still seeking his first win driving for his KHI team.

Juan Pablo Montoya will make his first appearance in the series since last year at Watkins Glen; he’ll drive the No. 40 Dodge in place of Bryan Clauson, who is tied with Landon Cassill for the Raybestos Rookie award. Cassill will also be watching while Martin takes over the No. 5 Ford. Cassill has one race left (Phoenix) while Clauson may have the upper hand with the final two races left on his schedule.

Other Cup stars running in this one: Clint Bowyer, Carl Edwards, David Ragan, Brian Vickers, Kyle Busch, Jamie McMurray, Denny Hamlin, David Reutimann.
