They've also said it would be for an extra starting position so we could see 41 cars in the 500.

Trackhouse have already confirmed they plan to use the provisional if he does not qualify. As part of the rules for the provisional, he is ineligible to win any prize money and Trackhouse do not receive any owners points.

Is this just for the 500 or all Cup races from now on? I'd love to see the likes of Ricciardo, Hamilton, Verstappen, etc., take advantage of it too down the road. 8)

It's for every race but it's safe to assume these "world class" guest drivers will target road/street courses by design.

Will Brown should show up for Chicago though he did say there's a great deal of interest from other guys to enter in that Trackhouse wild card.

Nice looking car. Won't hurt to have the reigning Xfinity champ driving it.

Kasey Kahne will make his first NASCAR start since 2018, driving the HendrickCars #33 for Richard Childress Racing in the Xfinity series return to Rockingham.

Imagine saying in the 1990s that Rick Hendrick would sponsor a Richard Childress car :haha:
