Bill Davis Racing (BDR) announced today that it will tap into its pool of veteran Cup Series drivers to pilot the No. 27 Toyota Camry during the next several NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. Truck Series standouts Mike Skinner and Johnny Benson are both expected to step behind the wheel of BDR’s No. 27 entry.
Hello NASCAR fans. Looks like the first of the Open Wheel guys is already out. I suspect there will be more. These guys are definitely talented, but they don't yet have seat time and skills for a stock car in the top division. I suspect we'll see other moving to Nationwide, Craftsman Trucks, or even ARCA to get some stock car experience.

Bill Davis Racing will continue to support Jacques Villeneuve in his pursuit of a successful career in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
“We know that Jacques has the talent and the desire to be in NASCAR, and are diligently working on a long term relationship with him," commented team owner Bill Davis.
2007 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series runner up Mike Skinner will drive the No. 27 Toyota Camry next weekend at California Speedway in Fontana, California.
