Tony Stewart: Chassis No. 14-591 debuted in May 2010 in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte. It qualified 26th and finished 15th in its maiden race. It saw extensive wind-tunnel time before returning to action in late July for the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis. There, it qualified 15th and a savvy two-tire pit call on the team's final stop allowed it to rally to a fifth-place finish. Chassis No. 14-591 spent the rest of the 2010 season as a backup, and in the offseason, it received a new body and logged many hours in the wind tunnel. The Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas was its third career start and first of 2011 finishing 2nd. Its next start came in May's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, where it was poised to finish in the top-10 until engine woes late in the race dropped it to a 17th-place finish. Chassis No. 14-591's next outing came in a test July 9 at Kentucky. It returned to racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where after starting 20th, rallied to an impressive third-place finish. The Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas will mark Chassis No. 14-591's sixth career start and fourth this season.

Kurt Busch and his Steve Addington-led Penske Racing "Double-Deuce" team will be racing their "PRS-757" Shell-Pennzoil Dodge this weekend at Kansas. This chassis has been raced only once before; in the July 31 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Busch qualified fourth in this car, ran in the top 10 most of the race, but was caught up in an incident with 40 laps remaining and relegated to a 21st-place finish. "This is a sister car to our '758' that we won Dover with last weekend," said crew chief Addington. "Since the last time out, we've gone back and completely redone this car with our latest stuff. It'll be a good car for Kansas and we can't wait to get back out there. We're heading in there with the attitude that we have some unfinished business to take care of this time around."
--------------------------------
Kevin Harvick and Budweiser Chevy team will race chassis No. 378 from the Richard Childress Racing NSCS stable. Harvick utilized this car at Chicagoland Speedway to earn a second-place finish last month.
