Scott Speed

"We're just taking it in stride. There is a cup car waiting for me, when the situation is right with the team and if I feel comfortable with it we will make the move. Racing in the trucks has increased my learning curve, especially with guys like Hornaday, Skinner and Benson. They are cup-quality drivers and I've learned a lot from them."

Speed, who currently sits third in the ARCA RE/MAX Series point standings, will start Friday's Racing for Wildlife 200 alongside Eddie Sharp Racing teammate Justin Lofton, who posted a 39.133-second lap in the No. 20 Lofton Cattle Dodge.

"I'm really looking forward to racing here tomorrow," said Lofton. "I think the last four cars will stand out. I think I can pretty much sum up my season so far as bad luck...even last week, when I was running in the top-five at the end of the race and ended up finishing 19th. I'm hoping to turn things around this weekend and so far it's going well."

Brian Scott will start third in the No. 15 Venturini Motorsports Chevrolet, alongside Justin Allgaier in the No. 16 AG Tech-Hoosier Midwest-Hot Hues Chevrolet. Shelby Township, Michigan's Robb Brent will start fifth at his hometown superspeedway in a No. 00 Abigayle Place-Orchard Chrysler Dodge Jeep Chevrolet.
