With several drivers angling for 2011 rides, some of the top Nationwide Series teams have changed drivers for Saturday’s Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway

Trevor Bayne is out of the Diamond-Waltrip Racing No. 99 ride and will be replaced by two-time K&N Pro Series East champion Ryan Truex this weekend. Not only will Truex replace Bayne, but he will get to race against his brother, Martin, who will take Ryan’s place in the Michael Waltrip Racing No. 00 car.

Brian Scott, who has driven all season in the No. 11 Braun Racing car, is out after the sale of Braun Racing to Turner Motorsports and will be replaced by Turner’s James Buescher.

And as previously announced, former motocross champion Ricky Carmichael will make his series debut in the Braun Racing No. 10 car, which has been piloted by several drivers, including Tayler Malsam. Carmichael is a teammate of Buescher’s at Turner in the Camping World Truck Series.

There are 12 Sprint Cup drivers listed among the 49 entries for the race. Series points leader Brad Keselowski (Penske Racing) and his closest challenger Carl Edwards (Roush Fenway Racing) will be doing double duty along with Truex Jr., Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing), Joey Logano (JGR), Reed Sorenson (Braun Racing), Kevin Harvick (Kevin Harvick Inc.), Tony Raines (TriStar Motorsports), Jason Leffler (Braun), Joe Nemechek (Nemco Motorsports), David Gilliland (D’Hondt-Humphrey Motorsports) and Paul Menard (Roush Fenway).

Drivers for full-time teams that have used a variety of drivers this year include Willie Allen (Day Enterprises), Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (Roush Fenway), Josh Wise (JR Motorsports), Colin Braun (Roush Fenway), Morgan Shepherd (Richard Childress Racing), Robert Richardson Jr. (R3 Motorsports), Drew Herring (Baker Curb Racing), Shelby Howard (ML Motorsports) and Aric Almirola (JR Motorsports).

Among other notable entries are Jennifer Jo Cobb, Tim Andrews and Carl Long.
