Josh Wise and Timmy Hill are not sure exactly how many races they'll
compete in during the 2012 Sprint Cup season, but they plan to be racing
each other for Sprint Cup's top rookie honors. Both Wise and Hill have
registered for the rookie program and took their first Cup laps of the
season this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. Wise, who drove in
31 Nationwide races for three teams including JR Motorsports last year
and has four career starts in the Cup Series, is driving the #26 car for
Front Row Motorsports, which Tony Raines qualified in for the Daytona
500. #37-Hill, the 2011 Nationwide rookie of the year, is looking to
make his Cup debut after failing to qualify Saturday at Phoenix. He is
driving a car fielded by Rick Ware Racing and Max Q Motorsports in a
deal that came together the last few weeks. Both Wise and Hill are not
certain how many races they'll compete in this season. Wise and Front
Row need sponsorship for that car to run the full events. Hill hopes to
be in the car every race but knows that if he misses some, the team
might put someone else in the car to try to get it in the top 35. (via
