NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Texas Motor Speedway: entry list
The 2014 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup has three races to go, counting Sunday’s AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway near Fort Worth. It’s the second-race in the three-race Eliminator round, and after Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s win last weekend at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, all eight remaining Chase drivers are still seeking a win in the two upcoming races to guarantee advancement into the one-race Championship round, a.k.a. the season-finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The entry list for Sunday’s race at TMS is comprised of 43 names, the exact number needed for a full race field in the Sprint Cup Series, so unless there’s a late entry, all entered will have a starting spot come race day. The AAA Texas 500 is scheduled to take the green flag shortly after 2 p.m. local/3 p.m. ET on Sunday. It can be seen live on ESPN.
Here’s a look at the entry list:
