Kenny Wallace and Brian Ickler will be on standby for Matt Kenseth and the No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford for the first few Sprint Cup Series events of the 2011 season, as the Kenseth family is expecting a baby later this month.

Wallace and Ickler will be ready to fill in during practice or qualifying if needed. Wallace will assume driving duties during Daytona International Speedway Speedweeks if necessary, while Ickler will be at Phoenix International Raceway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
