37 Cars on Entry List for NASCAR Cup Series Playoff Race at Kansas
There are 37 drivers on the preliminary entry list for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series event at Kansas Speedway, dubbed the Hollywood Casino 400 presented by ESPN BET. Sunday’s event marks the 31st event of the 36-race season and the second of three events in the ‘Round of 12’.
With up to 40 drivers being permitted to start events in the NASCAR Cup Series, there will be no drivers or teams packing up and heading home prior to the drop of the green flag in Sunday afternoon’s 400-mile contest.
In addition to the six open entries originating from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports – Noah Gragson, Bubba Wallace, Todd Gilliland, Riley Herbst, Zane Smith, and Tyler Reddick – there is another open entry competing in Sunday’s event.
NY Racing has entered the No. 44 Chevrolet in Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway, with JJ Yeley behind the wheel of the part-time entry. The organization, owned by Jay Cohen, has entered 12 NASCAR Cup Series events this season, with a best finish of 28th.
Ryan Blaney, winner of last weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, is entered in Sunday’s event at Kansas Speedway driving the No. 12 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Team Penske. Menards and Richmond Water Heaters will adorn the entry of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion.
