The NASCAR Cup Series returns after a two-week Olympic hiatus to take on the left and right turns of Watkins Glen International. Just four races are left until the start of the playoffs.
Thirty-seven cars are on the entry list, meaning all drivers will get in barring any last-minute changes.
NTT IndyCar Series and Indy Lights driver RC Enerson will make his first career Cup start for Rick Ware Racing in the No. 15 Chevrolet. The New Port Richey, Fla. native made his only NASCAR start in the Xfinity Series at Road America in 2020. James Davison will drive the No. 51 while Josh Bilicki and Garrett Smithley continue in Nos. 52 and 53, respectively.
Kyle Tilley is set to make his third start of 2021 with Live Fast Motorsports. Tilley also competed in the No. 78 Ford at Circuit of the Americas and Road America.
