One would think that nothing much surprises Ricky Carmichael anymore. After all, he is nicknamed GOAT, as in Greatest Of All Time.

But the 15-time American Motorcyclist Association champion was taken aback when team owner Steve Turner called to let him know he could be making his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut at Kansas Speedway this weekend.

Turner, who owns the team for which Carmichael and James Buescher drive in the Camping World Truck Series, was completing the purchase of the Braun Racing Nationwide team last week and needed a driver for the No. 10 Toyota.

“It has been really quick. Never expected it to come this quick,” Carmichael said. “I got a call from our team owner last week, and he said, ‘Hey, there’s a possibility we might be able to run you in the Nationwide race next weekend in Kansas. Would you be up for it?’”
