NASCAR entry lists at Dover, notable entries for Cup and Xfinity

Check out NASCAR’s entry lists for this weekend at Dover Motor Speedway, including notable entries in the Cup and Xfinity Series.

NASCAR is fresh off an exciting weekend of racing at Talladega Superspeedway, where the sport saw Tyler Reddick survive the carnage for his first victory of the season. Now, the racing series is set for Dover Motor Speedway. The NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series will participate on track, so let’s take a closer look at the entry lists released for Dover.

In the Cup Series, there are significant changes after a 38-car field at Talladega. Jimmie Jonson (No. 84 for Legacy Motor Club) will join the show as an open entry. Meanwhile, Kaz Grala (No. 15 for Rick Ware Racing) and A. (No. 16 for Kaulig Racing) are the two drivers for the teams with no full-time driver and a charter.

The Xfinity Series sees an influx of young and veteran drivers, with Taylor Gray and Ryan Truex running for Joe Gibbs Racing. Most notably, Daniel Dye (Kaulig Racing) returns to the series, while Carson Kvapil (JR Motorsports) receives another start in the No. 88 car. Overall, one driver will miss the show with 39 entries at Dover.

The race weekend in Dover will begin on Friday, April 26. NASCAR is returning to the Monster Mile for its lone date of 2024, and everyone is excited to see who can tame the speedway.

Carson Kvapil returns to NASCAR Xfinity Series at Dover in 2024

JR Motorsports announced that Carson Kvapil will return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Dover Motor Speedway in April 2024.

[autotag]Carson Kvapil[/autotag] is returning to the NASCAR Xfinity Series. On Monday morning, JR Motorsports announced that Kvapil will return to the No. 88 Xfinity car for this weekend’s festivities at Dover Motor Speedway. The 20-year-old driver has made one start in the Xfinity Series, and it came at Martinsville Speedway for a fourth-place finish.

Kvapil was impressive in his Xfinity Series debut and gets another opportunity at a challenging race track. Dover is physically grueling and should provide a significant challenge to the young driver. Yet, Kvapil has been impressive in every vehicle he has driven throughout his short career to this point.

Expectations for Kvapil shouldn’t be too high, but a top-10 finish would be great. The young driver shouldn’t be expected to finish in the top 5 spots again, but it would be very impressive if it did happen. You don’t want to miss Kvapil’s next Xfinity Series race, which takes place at Dover on Saturday, April 27, on FOX Sports 1.

Jesse Love wins Xfinity Series race at Talladega, full results and race recap

Jesse Love wins the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Talladega Superspeedway. Check out the full results, race recap from Talladega!

The NASCAR Xfinity Series arrived at Talladega Superspeedway and put on a show. [autotag]Jesse Love[/autotag] won the Xfinity Series race at Talladega for his first career victory in NASCAR’s top levels. Love held off the pack with drivers who usually don’t run up front finishing behind him. The No. 2 car stretched it on fuel for a 50-plus lap run.

Love’s victory at Talladega represents redemption, as the No. 2 car ran out of fuel after dominating the race at Atlanta Motor Speedway earlier in the year. Now, the 19-year-old driver is a winner in the Xfinity Series. Love won Stage 1, while his teammate Austin Hill won Stage 2. The Richard Childress Racing drivers had the best cars all day.

Following the event in Alabama, Love can call himself a NASCAR winner. If Richard Childress Racing can show this type of speed moving forward, Love will have an excellent opportunity to replicate this success at a superspeedway track later in the season.

  1. No. 2 Jesse Love
  2. No. 98 Riley Herbst

NASCAR’s weather forecast for Talladega looks very bad in April 2024

NASCAR’s weather forecast for Talladega Superspeedway looks very bad in April 2024. Check out why the Cup Series may be racing on Monday!

NASCAR has been lucky with the weather after the Busch Light Clash at The Coliseum and the Daytona 500 were postponed or moved to different days. The last eight race weekends have gone well, as Mother Nature hasn’t tampered with any of NASCAR’s top 3 levels. However, this appears to be changing ahead of the race weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.

According to Weather.com, the weather forecast at Talladega Superspeedway calls for a 90% chance of rain on Sunday, which is currently projected to end in the late afternoon hours. If this forecast doesn’t change, NASCAR will be forced to run the Cup Series race on Monday because Talladega does not have lights for racing at the facility.

As for Saturday, it is projected to be cloudy, but there is a chance for rain showers throughout the day. Talladega’s forecast for Monday looks good, with a high of 70° and sunny skies. If the forecast doesn’t change over the next 72 hours, NASCAR could be faced with another superspeedway event taking place on Monday afternoon.

The CW to broadcast final eight NASCAR Xfinity Series races in 2024

The CW will reportedly broadcast the final eight NASCAR Xfinity Series races of the 2024 season in a shocking development.

In a major change of events, NBC Sports will not air the NASCAR Xfinity Series to close out the 2024 season. According to Motorsport.com’s Jim Utter, The CW will take over for NBC Sports in the final eight Xfinity Series races of 2024. This is one year earlier than expected, as The CW was supposed to broadcast all Xfinity Series races starting in 2025.

According to Utter, the reasons behind the switch are expected to be revealed later on Thursday. The CW will start broadcasting at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 20, the final race of the regular season. The CW’s broadcast booth has not been announced, but the final eight races this year will give viewers a taste of what’s to come in 2025.

This is shocking as The CW will now broadcast races from 2024 to 2031. It will be fascinating to see who joins The CW broadcast booth and if the network will be live at the race track each weekend. The best broadcasts come from the race track, so hopefully, The CW will decide to go that route as NASCAR’s TV schedule undergoes an unexpected change.
