“When this opportunity came up from Mike (Beam), I had to jump on it,” said Bill Elliott in a statement from the team. “Chase (Elliott) has ran a handful of races for the team so I figured I would give it a shot at Road America. Beam and I have worked together in the past so it will be exciting to get back behind the wheel and bring back some old memories.”

The race is scheduled to air on NBCSN beginning at 3 pm ET. The Green flag is expected to drop at 3:20 pm ET.
