There are 37 cars on the entry list for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway, the 15th race of the 36-race season.
With up to 40 cars permitted to start events in the NASCAR Cup Series (41 if there is an “Open Exemption Provisional”), no drivers or teams will head home after this weekend’s qualifying session at the 2-mile high-speed oval in Brooklyn, MI.
Denny Hamlin, last weekend’s race winner at Nashville Superspeedway, returns to the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota this weekend with primary sponsorship from National Debt Relief.
Among the notable entries this weekend is Austin Hill, who remains the listed driver of the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet for the third consecutive race. The No. 33 Chevrolet was renumbered from the No. 8 Chevrolet, which was driven by Kyle Busch through the opening 12 races of the season.
Hill, who will carry primary sponsorship from Rebel Bourbon this weekend, has driven the No. 33 Chevrolet in each race since the untimely death of Busch heading into the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
J.J. Yeley is the other notable entry on the list this weekend, as he’ll pilot the No. 44 Chevrolet for the NY Racing Team. Yeley will be the lone “Open” entry in the field this weekend and will carry primary sponsorship from Fanatics Casino.
