Landon Cassill will have a return engagement in the No. 40 Circle Motor Sport Racing Chevrolet this week at Pocono Raceway with technical support from Richard Childress Racing and ECR (Earnhardt Childress Racing) Engines this weekend.
Cassill had driven the No. 33 car previously this year, but, the team is seeking to expand the role of No. 40.
Tony Raines will fill the seat of the No. 33 Circle Sport Chevrolet, marking his first Sprint Cup Series start of the 2013 season. Raines has competed in four NASCAR Nationwide Series races this season, and drove two Sprint Cup races for the Joe Falk-owned Circle Sport Racing No. 33 in 2012.
“It's our intention to run the No. 40 in select Sprint Cup races throughout the remainder of the 2013 season, and last weekend was a successful launch of that program...” said Joe Falk. “Landon did a great job locking the 40 car into the field with no owner points to fall back on, and we're taking that same car to Pocono this weekend with support from Interstate Moving Services, RCR and ECR, so we're confident that Landon will once again be able to qualify the car in the top 36. The Interstate Moving Services Chevy is a great looking car and I'm glad we're able to take it to Pocono where we hope to improve upon the finish we had last week in Indy. As long as we continue to see sponsor interest in the 40 program we will continue to field it and build that program.”
