NASCAR released the entry list for the Aug. 1 Pocono Mountains 150 at Pocono Raceway. The list includes 30 entrants, meaning every team will make Saturday’s race.

Keselowski will compete in the No. 29 Cooper Standard Careers for Veterans Ford for his own Brad Keselowski Racing team, while Dillon will drive the No. 33 Rheem Chevrolet for GMS Racing.
Matt Tifft will make his third-career start, driving the No. 54 Toyota Car Toyota for KBM. Mason Mingus and Ryan Ellis will also return to the series.
