Several NASCAR drivers are expected to participate in testing Friday through Sunday for the Rolex 24 At Daytona sports car event.
With most teams using three to five drivers per car, not all drivers will participate in all days at Daytona International Speedway.
Two-time defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson will get in the Bob Stallings Racing entry during the Sunday practice.
Chip Ganassi Racing’s Juan Pablo Montoya, who was a member of the winning Ganassi team last year in the 24-hour event, and new Cup teammate Dario Franchitti will participate in at least the first day of the three-day test for Ganassi.
Penske Racing’s Kurt Busch, who will drive for Penske-Taylor Racing, is scheduled to participate in all three days of the test.
Red Bull Racing’s AJ Allmendinger is set to drive for Michael Shank Racing.
Boris Said, who has run selected Cup and Busch races the last several years, will drive for Blackforest Motorsports.
Another open-wheel driver with some NASCAR experience, Max Papis, is driving for Autohaus Motorsports.
Andy Lally, a Craftsman Truck Series rookie whose TRG Racing team is adding the trucks to its road-racing stable, is set to drive for TRG as well.
Tony Stewart typically runs the 24-hour race but is not scheduled to test with any team.
