There are 40 cars entered for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the 13th race of the 36-race NASCAR Cup Series season.

Among the highlights on the entry list is the return of seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson, who will make his first start since a third-place result in the season-opening Daytona 500 in February. Johnson will pilot the No. 84 "Open" entry Toyota for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB, a team he is a co-owner of.

Also 18-year-old Connor Zilisch is set to return for his second NASCAR Cup Series start in the No. 87 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet. Zilisch suffered a lower back injury at Talladega Superspeedway a few weeks ago, but after not being behind the wheel for the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Texas Motor Speedway, and the last two weeks as the NASCAR Xfinity Series was observing back-to-back off weekends, Zilisch is back.
