Villeneuve will attempt to qualify the Toyota for Braun Racing in NASCAR’s annual Cup visit to the 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) oval on July 25. Villeneuve drove for Braun Racing in the second-tier Nationwide Series race at Road America last month, qualifying second and leading three laps before an electrical problem late in the race relegated him to 25th. The 39-year-old Canadian won the Indianapolis 500 and the CART season championship in 1995 while driving for Team Green. He then moved on to F1, winning the points championship in 1997.
