The preliminary entry list for the Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway has been released, and listed are 37 different NASCAR Cup Series teams, all of which will start Sunday’s 400-mile contest.
Shane Van Gisbergen, who scored a historic victory in last weekend’s inaugural Chicago Street Race, is NOT entered in this weekend’s event, and neither is the entry he piloted, a third, part-time entry for Trackhouse Racing.
Although, the majority of the driver-team pairings on this weekend’s entry lists are exactly what you’d expect on a weekly basis, with the exception of a couple of the series’ rotisserie entries.
Notable entries for the series’ second trip to Atlanta Motor Speedway in 2023 include No. 15 TBA, No. 51 TBA, and No. 78 TBA. Austin Hill, a full-time competitor in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, is entered in the Beard Motorsports No. 62.
