On Monday, NASCAR released the preliminary entry list for the 2024 Shriners Children’s 500, the fourth race of the season for the NASCAR Cup Series, set to take place on Sunday, March 10 at Phoenix Raceway in Phoenix, Arizona.
With just 36 entries shown on the preliminary entry list, for 40 available spots, each one of the teams that travel out west to the one-mile short track located in the heart of the desert will get to take the green flag for Sunday’s 312-mile contest.
Kyle Larson, who scored the victory in Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube for Hendrick Motorsports, will return to Phoenix Raceway looking to continue a strong run of momentum, driving the No. 5 Valvoline Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
