Justin Marks will make his 13th career NASCAR XFINITY Series start and second for HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi (HSMCG), this weekend at Road America. Although this is only his second start at the 4.048-mile road course in an XFINITY Series car, Marks is no stranger to the facility. He finished sixth in the GT-class of an American Le Mans Series, now the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, race in 2006. Marks finished 15th for HSMCG at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course two weeks ago.

Busch has won 33 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) races, 73 NXS events and 44 triumphs in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) – including 129 wins in a Toyota – over 12 seasons. With his NXS victory at Bristol, Busch has won nine of his last 18 starts across all three NASCAR national touring series.

Reed has competed at Road America in the NASCAR XFINITY Series just once, finishing 21st after starting 14th in 2014. In his first appearance, Reed ran just outside of the top 10 for most of the race but fell back after having to pit for fuel as the race was extended by a late caution.
Last week in Bristol, late race contact put a damper on the hopes for a good run for Dakoda Armstrong. This week, the No. 43 WinField team heads to Road America looking to end a tough month with a good finish. Last year, during his first start at the track, Armstrong had a promising day go sour when a rain assisted off-track excursion heavily damaged the WinField Ford. Historically, RPM has had strong runs at Road America in each of its three starts, before rain or accidents changed the course of their race.
