After a couple of weekends off, the NASCAR Nationwide Series returns to action on Saturday with the running of the O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge at Texas Motor Speedway. Counting Saturday’s Texas race, there are three races remaining on the schedule, with events to follow at Phoenix International Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway.

There are 43 cars on the entry list for a race that will feature 40 drivers. Included on that list are several Sprint Cup Series regulars, including three of the eight-remaining Chase for the Sprint Cup competitors — Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano. Recently eliminated driver, Kyle Busch, also plans to compete in the weekend’s Nationwide race, as do Sprint Cup rookies Kyle Larson and Austin Dillon.

Qualifying for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge is scheduled for 11:15 a.m. local (12:15 p.m. ET) on Saturday, with the race to follow at approximately 2:30 p.m. local/3:30 p.m. ET.

Here’s a look at the entry list:
