Busch to race Daytona 24

The NASCAR trio have been called up by the Multimatic Ford Grand Am team and will be joined by regular driver and former Daytona winner Scott Maxwell.

"One of the first things I knew about Jack Roush was his heritage in the 24-hour race at Daytona," said Busch. "Now to be a member of Roush Racing with Greg and Matt, and to team up with Multimatic and Scott for this event gives me a chance to be a part of history.

"It's going to be an all-star effort, but there are some fantastic drivers in the Grand Am Series that we'll be competing against. We're going to look to Scott to lead us goofy oval guys around those right turns in Daytona, but we're definitely going to have fun with it."

"It's a dream team, that's for sure," said Dan Davis, director of Ford Racing Technology. "We started talking last summer about getting a chance to put this type of team together for the Rolex 24., W have an effort and a class of drivers that will be able to make a run for the overall win."
