Jesse Iwuji: Racing Saturday

Iwuji is set to race in Saturday's Xfinity event despite missing the qualifying race due to a naval obligation, Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports reports.

Analysis:

Iwuji initially missed the qualifying race due to a naval obligation that would typically exclude him from participating in Saturday's event, though NASCAR made an exemption for Iwuji due to the unique circumstance of his military obligation Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports. Iwuji's car qualified thanks to driver Kyle Weatherman who sat in during the former's absence, though Weatherman will sit out Saturday due to Iwuji's return to action.
