2004 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Kurt Busch will compete at this year's Race Of Champions in Barbados.
In May, Busch became only the fourth driver in motor sport history to attempt a very special double-header. On the same day in May, he raced both in NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 at North Carolina's Charlotte Motor Speedway and the world-famous Indianapolis 500.
His run to 6th place on his debut at the IndyCar classic earned him the prestigious Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award.
Busch will partner this year's Indianapolis 500 winner Ryan Hunter-Reay for Team USA in the ROC Nations Cup.
Monday, ROC organisers confirmed that Williams Formula 1 test driver, Susie Wolff would become the first female driver ever to compete in the Race Of Champions.
Originally from Oban in Scotland, Wolff spent seven years racing in Germany's DTM touring car series before taking over as development driver for the Williams F1 team in April 2012.
She made her first Formula 1 race weekend appearances earlier this year, taking part in free practice sessions at Silverstone and Hockenheim.
