NASCAR Cup entry list features full field of 40 cars for Atlanta race

When NASCAR heads to Atlanta this weekend to race at the newly renamed at EchoPark Speedway, 40 Cup cars will be present for what is sure to be yet another thrilling race at the Georgia track. 
The Cup Series has only reached 40 entries twice this year before Atlanta, and they were both crown jewel events. 41 cars started the Daytona 500 with the field expanding beyond max capacity due to Helio Castroneves taking the Open Exemption Provisional. There were also 40 cars taking part in the Coca Cola 600 for NASCAR’s longest race with Ross Chastain making history as he drove from 40th to first to win the event.
Atlanta will be the latest race to feature 40 cars with four open entries beyond the 36 full-time chartered teams. Corey LaJoie will be piloting the No. 01 Ford for Rick Ware Racing in his fourth start of the year, which follows his stint as a analyst for Prime Video.
Rising star Connor Zilisch will be driving a fourth entry for Trackhouse, again piloting the No. 87 Chevrolet with sponsorship from Red Bull. Zilisch, who won the most recent NASCAR Xfinity race at Pocono with Dale Jr. as his crew chief, will be making his third Cup start of the year.
The other two open entries will be B.J. McLeod in the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet and 57-year-old David Starr in the No. 66 Garage 66 (formerly MBM Motorsports) Ford Mustang.
The NASCAR Xfinity Series will be joining the Cup Series at Atlanta while the NASCAR Truck Series heads north to compete at Lime Rock Park for the very first time.
