40 cars.............
is full field in the Nationwide Series starting in 2013. There has only been 40 cars in every Nationwide Race in 2013. As far as cup drivers the number of Cup drivers in Nationwide races has really fell off since they're not eligible for points. Off the top of my head I can think of 4 Cup drivers in today's race, Keselowski, Kahne, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano. As far as road course ringers I think there were quite a few, but like myself maybe you're not familiar with them, so when you see their names like Andrew Ranger or Anthony Gandon you don't realize they're the modern era road course ringers. I think road course ringers only ever been a novelty. In the modern era the only road course ringers that have ever won in the Cup Series were drivers that had full time rides in the series, Robby Gordon, Marcus Ambrose & Juan Pablo Montoya. Without looking it up I believe Ron Fellows & Boris Said have wins in the Nationwide & truck series, but Boris had a full time ride in the truck series when he got his win.
