NASCAR heads to EchoPark Speedway in Georgia this weekend. The Cup Series prepares for the Autotrader 400. Because Sunday’s race begins at 3 p.m. ET, you can watch it on FOX.
In addition, there is coverage on PRN Radio, HBO Max, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. While a total of 38 cars are entered for the race, the field is below NASCAR’s 40-car limit. The event follows Tyler Reddick’s victory in the season-opening Daytona 500.
NASCAR Cup Series Entry List Confirmed for Atlanta
NASCAR has confirmed 38 drivers for Sunday’s Cup Series race at EchoPark Speedway. The lineup includes all chartered teams and two open entries.
For instance, JJ Yeley is entered in the No. 44 Chevrolet for NY Racing Team. Also, BJ McLeod is listed in the No. 78 Chevrolet for Live Fast Motorsports. Both part-time drivers return this weekend. Therefore, they complete the 38-car field.
Motorsport.com also reported that Casey Mears and the No. 66 team had originally planned to compete. However, they withdrew after sustaining damage during Daytona Speedweeks. Several established drivers headline the entry list.
Ross Chastain represents Trackhouse Racing, Austin Cindric drives for Team Penske, and Austin Dillon competes for Richard Childress Racing. Hendrick Motorsports fields its four full-time drivers: Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, William Byron, and Alex Bowman.

Finally, Michael McDowell, Carson Hocevar, Cody Ware, Connor Zilisch, and Shane van Gisbergen appear on the official NASCAR list.
Open teams are also represented. For example, Yeley’s NY Racing Team entry and McLeod’s Live Fast Motorsports car are the only non-chartered teams listed. Thus, Motorsport.com confirms these two open entries join the 36 chartered teams.
