NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Atlanta Motor Speedway: entry list
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular season is winding down as the circuit heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway for Sunday night’s Oral-B USA 500. It’s race 24 of the 26-race regular season.
True to the entry list, Tony Stewart is back, set to race after missing events at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International, Michigan International Speedway and Bristol (Ten.) Motor Speedway.
Stewart is one of 44 drivers on the entry list for Sunday night’s race, so as long as there are no withdrawals, one driver on the list will be left without a spot on Sunday’s starting grid after Friday night’s qualifying session.
Qualifying is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET Friday. The race is scheduled to take the green flag shortly after 7:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.
