Australian Owen Kelly will be back with Joe Gibbs Racing at Road America, the team has confirmed.

Although Kelly, 39, has made only four NASCAR Xfinity Series starts, two have come at the rolling 4-mile course in Elkhart Lake, where he finished fifth in his series debut in 2010 and fourth in 2013.

Kelly will drive Gibbs’ No. 18 Toyota on Road America 180 weekend, Aug. 26-27.

Kelly has qualified no worse than ninth in his four Xfinity races. He led two laps at Mid-Ohio last weekend but also went off course. Mid-Ohio is the site of his other two races.Kelly also has made one Sprint Cup start.

Road America typically brings out some drivers who aren’t regulars on the circuit, and Kelly is the third to be announced as entered by a top-flight team. Michael McDowell will drive Richard Childress’ No. 2 Chevrolet and Alex Tagliani Team Penske’s 22 Ford.
