Notes: N'wide's "Dash for Cash"; Carmichael to KHI

CONCORD, N.C. -- NASCAR's Nationwide Series drivers will get a shot at some extra money this season with the series sponsor's new four-race "Dash for Cash" program.

Eligible drivers include those who race full time in the second-tier series, including Cup Series regulars, as well as drivers who run a partial Nationwide schedule but do not also race in Cup.

If any of the eligible drivers win the Nationwide races at Nashville, Kentucky, Iowa or Memphis, they will collect a $25,000 bonus. The eligible driver with the most points from those four events will receive another $50,000.

Carmichael motors to KHI

Kevin Harvick Inc. will field trucks for three-time champion Ron Hornaday and rookie Ricky Carmichael.

Hornaday, who finished second to champion Johnny Benson in 2008, will drive the full 25-race schedule. Carmichael, a 15-time motocross and supercross champion making the transition to four wheels, will drive in 14 events, with the rest of the races shared by Cup star Harvick and drivers yet to be named.
