Michael McDowell, MWR #00 Will take over for Reutimann when he takes the 44 ride from DJ when he retires.
Regan Smith, #01 Do drove the US Army car for Ginn racing which has now been purchased by DEI mostly for their property. Most Ginn employees lost their jobs but Smith will pilot the 01 which is no longer the Army car, but I don’t know and don’t really care who their sponsor is. Sorry it’s a DEI thing with me.

Jacques Villeneuve, #27 for Bill Davis Racing - CART and IRL championships and the Indy 500. I remember his first race last year at Dega of all places. He did drop to the back so as not to be in the way.

Hope that helps
