There are 39 cars on the preliminary entry list for Friday night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway, the 26th race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season and the final race of the regular season.
With up to 38 cars being permitted to start races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, one driver and team will make the trek back home following this week’s qualifying session.
Connor Zilisch, who scored the win in his series debut last weekend at Watkins Glen, will not return this weekend. NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. will race the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro in his place with primary sponsorship from Hellmann’s Mayonaise.
Earnhardt led 47 laps in this race last year and was heading toward a certain top-five finish when a fire broke out on his race car, which sidelined him after completing 271 of the 300 laps. He’ll look to avenge that rough luck this weekend.
