Scott Wimmer, a native of Wausau, Wis., has the chance to accomplish a driver’s dream – winning at his home track. Johnny Sauter (2005) and Paul Menard (2006) were the first Wisconsin drivers to win in NASCAR Nationwide Series competition at The Mile.

He’s come close, finishing second in 2007 and third in 2002. He’s driving the No. 5 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports this weekend. Kelly Bires, a native of Mauston, will be in the No. 10 Toyota for Braun Racing this weekend.

Erik Darnell and Jason Keller aren’t from Wisconsin but a win would hit home nonetheless. Darnell’s sponsor, Northern Tool + Equipment, is the race sponsor, while Keller’s sponsor, Kimberly-Clark, was based for many years in Neenah, Wis.
