Can't see why he would take the ride with times being so close between the series and him leading the Nationwide points.
I run a small business (video production), and there are some dead times for business and then there are times where we have lots of jobs going at once. Example, Moto GP is here this weekend in Indianapolis, and there's a motorcycle rally in downtown with over 10,000 bikes (its amazing actually). I have to shoot a tv show for that Friday night, Saturday day, Saturday night, then I have a TV show at a concert with Nelly, and Murphy Lee Saturday night as well What it comes down to is I can't turn down business just because I'm busy.
Same thing applies to Austin Dillon. He's racing in Nationwide, but if you get the chance to race in Tony Stewarts ride...you do it no matter what it takes. Flying across the country, losing sleep, long days...doesn't matter...it's a job someone in his position can't pass up. If he performs well in Tony's car, it may catch someone's eye and maybe he gets a full time ride next year, or gets a bigger salary. Just one of those jobs you don't turn down.

Miller...IMHO these drivers are always auditioning...as it turns out, this year has been an audition for Newman and Juan...they just didn't know it. Very few rides are safe...plus any cup experience he gets now is invaluable

Alan, I would agree in most cases but with Dillon, that ride is nice and warm for him. If there was a ride that was a lock, its his. In most others drivers cases, we know the sponsor decides who goes in the car. But for Austin, the same decisons are predicated on sponsor. And i agree, most seat time will be huge. Not a huge fan of him skipping qualifying to start dead last. His road course resume is spotty at best but if Granpa and sponsor says ok then its ok
