No, I believe that is him. Note that he's still running #65. USAC has the name spelled wrong. He has previously announced his plan to run the Eastern Swing, so I assume he's running Eldora to get tuned up for that.

It's amazing how slow everything seems to be when you're sitting at home watching Twitter and USAC Now and IOW. When you're at the track, everything seems to just flow along. :-)
