BK Racing has announced that it has signed Camping World Truck Series regular Johnny Sauter to drive its No. 83 Dustless Blasting Toyota Camry in the Daytona 500.

"I am excited to be joining the BK Racing team for the start of the 2015 NASCAR season," Sauter said. "I am thankful for the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the No. 83 Dustless Blasting Toyota, and compete with the top athletes in the motorsports industry. We are going to get out there and give it our all and hopefully come home with a good finish for this team and sponsor."

Sauter is not guaranteed a starting spot in NASCAR's biggest race, so will either have to qualify on speed or race his way into the event during the Duel races.

"We are very comfortable with our chances to race our No. 83 Dustless Blasting Camry into the Daytona 500 with Johnny behind the wheel. He has a lot of experience running up front, a veteran in the sport and a loyal Toyota Racing driver," team owner Ron Devine said. "Regardless of the outcome of the Budweiser Duels, we look forward to working with Johnny on a select race schedule in 2015."

Pole qualifying for the Daytona 500 is set for Feb. 15, 1 p.m. ET, and will air on FOX. The Duels follow on Feb. 19 at  7 p.m. ET, on FOX Sports 1., with the Daytona 500 set for Feb. 22 at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.
