Full Entry Lists Released for Thrilling NASCAR Tripleheader at Charlotte Roval

NASCAR’s Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series converge on the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval this weekend, with Cup and Xfinity elimination races and the Trucks opening the Round of 8.

The stakes are clear: transfer or exit. Road-course execution, pit windows, and fuel management become decisive under playoff pressure, with minimal margin for procedural or track-limits errors.

Thirty-seven Cup entries are filed, including the part-time No. 66 Garage 66 Ford for Josh Bilicki, joining the full-season field seeking advancement and stage points.

Xfinity draws 42 entries, with only 38 starters permitted. Four cars will fail to qualify, placing heightened value on clean, timely laps in Saturday’s session.

The Truck field lists 36 trucks as the series makes its Roval debut. Unknowns around braking stability, curbing, and long-run balance will shape conservative early strategies.

Several drivers double up this weekend.

Connor Zilisch races Trucks with Spire Motorsports and contests his full-time Xfinity program.

Josh Bilicki competes for Niece in Trucks and returns to the Cup seat, while Connor Mosack runs Xfinity for JR Motorsports and Trucks with McAnally Hilgemann.

Cup contenders include Ross Chastain, Austin Cindric, and Kyle Larson, alongside Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, and Chase Elliott, a group regularly profiled among the top NASCAR drivers across recent seasons.

In particular, Larson’s seeding remains pivotal after recent form, underscoring Hendrick’s strategic flexibility at road courses.

Chevrolet, Ford, and Toyota are all represented, with team resource depth likely deciding qualifying trim versus race balance compromises.

Xfinity standouts include Sheldon Creed for Haas Factory Team, Carson Kvapil at JR Motorsports, and Daniel Dye with Kaulig Racing, each carrying differing road-course baselines.

In Trucks, Brent Crews fronts TRICON Garage prospects, with Grant Enfinger for CR7 and Tyler Ankrum at McAnally Hilgemann targeting early Round of 8 momentum.

Niece Motorsports fields multiple entries, including Bilicki, adding depth to the Chevrolet roster for the road course.

The Roval’s physical demands and braking heat place a premium on conditioning and protective gear, reinforcing the importance of fire suits in NASCAR for drivers and crews.

Fans can follow comprehensive coverage across the weekend via the Prime Video and Coca-Cola NASCAR broadcast package on race day and beyond.

Expect strategy-heavy races, aggressive restarts, and playoff calculus to define advancement as teams adapt quickly to the Roval’s narrow margins.
