Go Canada Racing is owned by Steve Meehan. Andrew Ranger is expected to pilot the car for much of the season and David Ragan has been signed for the series opening race at Daytona.

Villeneuve has made 7 starts at the Nationwide level with 3 of them reporting in top-5’s. Last year he finished 3rd at Elkhart Lake and 27th at Montreal while driving the #22 Dodge for Penske Racing.
Villeneuve has stated in the past that he would like to be able to run a full season in a NASCAR series or perhaps even own a team.
Villeneuve was the 1997 Formula One champion when he won 7 races, he also was the 1995 CART Champion. He has not won a race in any major series since 1997.
