Brandonbilt Motorsports announced that it will field two entries in the Alsco 300. Mason Diaz will drive the primary No. 86 Chevrolet. Brandon Brown will drive the No. 68 Chevrolet. Because Brandonbilt Motorsports is debuting its No. 68 entry for the season, Brown will have to qualify for the Alsco 300 on speed.
DGM Racing will field three entries. Josh Williams remains as the driver of the No. 36 Chevrolet. Dillon Bassett returns to drive the No. 90 Chevrolet. He has competed in one race this season. His older brother, Ronnie Bassett Jr., will drive the No. 92 Chevrolet. Bassett Jr. has competed in three races this season. Like Brown, Ronnie Bassett Jr. likely will have to qualify for the Alsco 300 on speed.
Finally, Junior Avila will pilot the No. 99 BJ McLeod Motorsports Toyota. Charlotte Motor Speedway will mark his second appearance in the Xfinity Series this season. The Alsco 300 will be his fourth career NASCAR Xfinity Series start. In three starts thus far, his best finish is 18th in the 2018 Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway.
