There are 37 cars on the preliminary entry list for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Shriners Children’s 500 at Phoenix Raceway, the fourth race of the 36-race 2025 season.
With up to 40 cars being permitted to start races in the NASCAR Cup Series, no drivers or teams will go home after this week’s qualifying session.
Christopher Bell, who has won the last two NASCAR Cup Series events including last week’s EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at COTA, will return behind the wheel of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry XSE.
The notables include the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet, an “Open” entry, which will have Katherine Legge behind the wheel. Legge will make her NASCAR Cup Series debut, and will become the first female racer to start a NASCAR Cup Series event since Danica Patrick competed in the 2018 Daytona 500.
