Greg GordenR for Truscelli Team Racing - initially named for the ride, the team decided to step him down for not having enough seat time in the car, as the new chassis came just days before a scheduled test.[4] Replaced by Brian Tyler, who was due to drive for Team Pelfrey, where he was replaced by Robby Unser.[5]
Team Menard entered the #2 car, which remained vacant for the event. Before qualifying, they announced an agreement to surrender the number #3 to Brant Racing, which were due to use #31, because of "Brant's long business relationship" with Richard Childress. Greg Ray switched numbers from #3 to #2.[6]
The #77 Chastain Motorsports entry, which was vacant on the entry list, did not arrive at the track.
