Return of Connor Zilisch Highlights 40-Car Watkins Glen Entry List

NASCAR has officially revealed the preliminary entry list for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Go Bowling at The Glen at Watkins Glen International, which will serve as the 24th race of the 36-race season.

Contained on the list is a full-field of 40 cars, which means Sunday's race at The Glen will mark the fifth full 40-car field of the season.

Connor Zilisch, the 19-year-old phenom who has amassed five wins in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this season, is one of the major highlights on the entry list this week. Zilisch will return for his fourth NASCAR Cup Series start, and he'll once again pilot the No. 87 "Open" entry for Trackhouse Racing with primary sponsorship from Red Bull.

In addition to Zilisch, Katherine Legge will also return to the field this weekend, driving the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet with sponsorship from Desnuda Tequila. Legge has shown excellent improvement over her first five NASCAR Cup Series starts.

Including a season's best 17th-place finish in the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis, Legge has now notched two top-20 finishes in her last three starts. She'll look to add another on Sunday at Watkins Glen.

The other two unusual suspect drivers and teams in this week's entry list include JJ Yeley, who will once again pilot the No. 44 Chevrolet for NY Racing with primary sponsorship from the Syracuse University football program, and Josh Bilicki, who will drive the No. 66 Garage 66 Ford with sponsorship from Southern Tier Security.
