Saturday\u2019s NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race will feature three \u201cguest\u201d drivers \u2013 joining the four-time IndyCar Series champion are former Indianapolis 500 pole-winner, now FOX Sports broadcaster Hinchcliffe, who has identified his truck with the name \u201cJimmy Hinch\u201d over the door of the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sports car star and former NASCAR competitor Colin Braun is driving the No. 25 Kaulig Racing RAM truck as the team\u2019s guest \u201cfree agent\u201d this week. And the three-time Indy 500 winner Franchitti is driving for TRICON Garage in a deal brokered by his good friend NASCAR team owner Johnson.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust looking forward to the opportunity,\u2019\u2019 said Braun, who has a 2009 victory in the truck series (at Michigan driving for Jack Roush), but last raced a truck in 2011 \u2013 15 years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s going to be a cool event, a great venue.\u00a0An interesting race, I think, from the NASCAR side, obviously. You know, being the first time here for everyone, it\u2019s a little bit of a level playing field so going to try to jump in and have some fun.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saturday\u2019s NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race will feature three \u201cguest\u201d drivers \u2013 joining the four-time IndyCar Series champion…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504769,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,718,374,19117,64736,26422,12716,634,582,721,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-504768","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-craftsman-truck-series","11":"tag-fox","12":"tag-indycar-series","13":"tag-jack-roush","14":"tag-kaulig-racing","15":"tag-motorsports","16":"tag-nascar","17":"tag-racing","18":"tag-series","19":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
