If all goes according to plan, Harvick will practice the #29 Shell-Pennzoil Chevy Saturday morning before heading to Montreal in time to qualify and race the #21 AutoZone Chevy that afternoon.

the busch series seriously just needs to be for the rookies..
I can not wait to see the race in Montreal!~ I wish Montoya was running it! He has run that track in F1
In Montreal, I would put my money on R. Gordon, R. Fellows(if running) or Scott Pruett.
how in the ___ are they going to manage that? Don’t you have to present a passport every time you cross the border now? Somebody must be getting rich.
I agree with RedDevil..
The Busch series is for the lower driver’s and rookies
trying to make a name for themselves and help them
get to the top. Not be bought out by these
rich Cup teams with the perfect engineering who get guarenteed
starting positions [knocking out talented driver's trying to
get a shot at the big league] and win every Busch race.
You have to look at this series as a College sports series.
Like the NFL and NCAA Football. Two SEPERATE ball games.
Steve you do not need a passport yet to cross the boarder unless you are flying. But then you need your passport anyone cause you are flying.
did it here too. this time it already at the name set,
Sorry again Andy.
Mike
And we want to keep OUR borders safe!
