Karam, a 25-year-old IndyCar driver who has competed at every Indianapolis 500 since 2014, made his debut in stock cars in the Xfinity Series race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course last month for Jordan Anderson Racing. Karam was flirting with a top-15 finish before electrical problems sidelined him with three laps remaining en route to finishing 26th. The upcoming race at Bristol will mark Karam’s first oval start in a stock car.
The Food City 300 will take place on Friday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. ET, with TV coverage provided by NBC Sports Network.
