Anyone know why Sterling Marlin is in the #40 this week?

I watched qualifying last week and was please to see Marlin qualified on time very well. I think he is like 16th or something. Anyway, I noticed he was in the #40 car. Just wondered what was going on. Is this the same #40 car as before, or a different one?

    Sterling is just being a rent a driver and getting laps in wherever he can.

    Yes it is. He drove for the 40 for some time once. He's filling in for the injured Dairo Francitti who was injured in a mighty hard crash a couple weeks ago in Talldega and he has not been back yet!

    he's filling in for the injured Dario Franchitti who have been given harm at Talladega, Ganassi has had diverse drivers filling in for him..with a bit of luck he would be back in his own automobile in Charlotte.. flow Dale Jr & Hms
