Johnny Benson (driving the #23 Toyota truck for Bill Davis Racing) will do double duty at Michigan next weekend (the Smith Brothers #67 Dodge in Busch, the Michael Waltrip Racing #00 Chevy in Cup; the Trucks have the weekend off), and will drive the BDR #23 Cup car at Atlanta.

Bill Elliot will drive the Evernham #6 Charlie Brown Christmas Dodge at Memphis October 22.
Speaking of Evernham, he and Roush have apparently made a deal to swap the 6 and 9 numbers in Busch for next year, Kasey Kahne will be in the car most of the time, and Erin Crocker will either be in a partner's (unnamed and undecided) Dodge full-time or the other driver.
