After their May 17 return from suspending on-track action due to COVID-19, the NASCAR Cup Series remains at Darlington Raceway for its second event on Wednesday (May 20).
Since 39 cars are entered, all will race, barring any last-minute changes.
As was previously announced, Gray Gaulding will compete in the No. 27 car for Rick Ware Racing. Joey Gase and Garrett Smithley join him in the Nos. 51 and 53, respectively.
Even though Ross Chastain is listed in the No. 77 of Spire Motorsports, Bob Pockrass reports the driver is still to be determined.
Although Ross Chastain is listed in the Spire car for Darlington on Wednesday on the entry list, Spire team tells me that driver is TBD.
