36 Cars On NASCAR Cup Entry List for Gateway, 2nd Race of Playoffs

NASCAR officially released the preliminary entry list for this weekend's NASCAR Cup Series Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway on Tuesday afternoon. 36 cars are contained within the list, including 30 Chartered entries and six "Open" entries.

Sunday's race will mark the 28th race of the 36-race NASCAR Cup Series season, and it will serve as the second race of the three-race Round of 16 of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.

While Chase Briscoe has already secured his place in the Round of 12 of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs with a win in last weekend's Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, there is no off-week for Briscoe and the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing team.

Briscoe will once again pilot the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry XSE with primary sponsorship from his anchor partner Bass Pro Shops. Briscoe will look to capture his third win of the season this weekend.

Among the notable driver/sponsorship combinations on the entry list for the Enjoy Illinois 300 include Austin Dillon in the No. 3 Dow "DayGlo" Chevrolet, Ty Dillon in the No. 10 DraftKings Chevrolet, Joey Logano in the No. 22 Hunt Brothers Pizza Ford, William Byron in the No. 24 Z by HP Chevrolet, Tyler Reddick in the No. 45 Jordan Brand Toyota, and Ty Gibbs in the No. 54 SiriusXM Toyota.

Austin Dillon and Logano are two of the four drivers below the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs cutline heading into this weekend's race.

Here is the complete entry list for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway. Race 28 of 36.
