Lally is back. Earl Bamber is another worthy ringer. Factory Porsche driver with two seconds and a third at Daytona the last two years (he ain't driving no Porsche :biggrin:)

'Dinger back in the #16 too.

The X drivers have run the Indy infield and Road America in the last few weeks. Those recent R/C experiences could make this a better race than the Cup series puts on.

Pretty sure Lally and 'Dinger ran it this year too, and SOI already mentioned Bamber. Really hyped for this one.

Dinger and Lally will be there, but I think those two Ford powered cars are going to be hard to beat. They have been all season and they were fast at Indy, so I wonder how they will get on this weekend.
 
The Xfinity race has plenty of ringers with a lot of road course experience.

Really good interview with Earl Bamber:

I've been saying for years exactly what Bamber observed about the level at which Nascar operates... the basic design architecture is archaic, but it is executed with a sophistication and professionalism fully worthy of F1. Here's how Bamber put it...
On being impressed with the management and precision he’s found at RCR:

“Their planning and execution is equal to what we do with the RSR program, which is impressive. Everyone always says that stock car racing and teams are archaic and stuff, but they’re not. The body fit men and the body builders are unreal. I’ve already seen the car run on the rolling road engine dyno. It’s been on the seven-post rig; they’re going to do some testing with the dampers and do all that stuff. I’ll probably have 20-24 hours total in the simulator before the race. And what they do in the simulator, they methodically follow up and check with everything that they can possibly check. There’s no team in Europe that’s got their own seven-post shaker rig in a workshop that knows what to do with it. People say they’re basic in NASCAR, but they’re not.”
