NASCAR is fresh off an exciting weekend of racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where the sport saw Christopher Bell beat Brad Keselowski to win the 2024 Coca-Cola 600. Now, the racing series is set for Gateway and Portland. All three NASCAR levels will participate on track, so let’s take a closer look at the entry lists released for Gateway and Portland.
In the Cup Series, there are significant changes compared to last week. There will be no open entries after the Coca-Cola 600 featured a full 40-car field. Meanwhile, Cody Ware (No. 15 for Rick Ware Racing) and Derek Kraus (No. 16 for Kaulig Racing) are the two drivers for the teams with no full-time driver and a charter.
The Xfinity Series has several drivers in new rides, with Josh Bilicki (Joe Gibbs Racing) and Ed Jones (Sam Hunt Racing) leading the way. Most notably, Frankie Muniz (Joey Gase Motorsports) and Preston Pardus (DGM Racing) return to the Xfinity Series in 2024. Overall, one driver will miss the show with 39 entries at Portland.
