At this time it is not certain if Wheldon will test a Busch Series or Cup car for Ganassi. However, chances are Wheldon would first test a Busch car first. Wheldon stated he is in fact serious about possibly venturing over to NASCAR in the future, but plans to run at least run in the upcoming IRL season. The PaddockTalk Perspective: Open-wheel drivers continue to look at the opportunities in NASCAR. Now, we can add Wheldon to the list of accomplished stars.
