NASCAR Releases Darlington Entry Lists With Cup at 37 and O'Reilly at 40 as Truck Count Awaits Clarification

A single open entry in Cup guarantees all chartered teams start on Sunday.

Overview

  • The Cup Series preliminary list includes 36 chartered cars plus Timmy Hill as the lone open entry, setting a 37-car field with no DNQs.
  • The O'Reilly Auto Parts Series shows 40 entries for a 38-car field, meaning two drivers will fail to qualify after Friday’s time trials.
  • Truck Series counts diverge between outlets at 36 and 37 entries, leaving whether there will be a DNQ pending NASCAR’s confirmation.
  • Alex Bowman appears on preliminary Cup and O'Reilly lists, though his return has not been confirmed following recent vertigo-related absences.
  • Several Cup regulars are slated for extra duty, with Ross Chastain and Christopher Bell entered in lower-series rides, and the Cup race airs Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on FS1.
