Additional furry friends from the Nashville, Tennessee and Charlotte, North Carolina areas are set to sit in the #18 team’s pit box during Sunday’s 300-lap race around the four-turn, 1.333-mile (2.145-kilometer) oval in Lebanon, Tennessee.

These dogs are slated to serve as the honorary pit crew for the two-time series champion throughout the race weekend.

Here’s what Busch had to say about this initiative.

"“I’m a huge dog lover, so having PEDIGREE Foundation choose to feature shelter pets that are in need of homes on our No.18 Toyota Camry this weekend is really cool. Today I met some of the dogs firsthand in Charlotte and have some special friends up on our pit box too this weekend. With the BETTER CITIES FOR PETS Program and PEDIGREE Foundation covering adoption fees in Charlotte and Nashville this weekend, our hope is that these pets are welcomed into the loving homes they deserve.”"
