The NASCAR Cup Series’ lone trip to the dirt takes place this weekend with the Food City Dirt Race at the Bristol Motor Speedway dirt track.
Thirty-seven teams are entered, meaning all will race, barring any entry list changes.
The No. 13 of Kaulig Racing will be the home of a debuting Cup driver for the second week in a row, as Jonathan Davenport climbs into the seat. Chandler Smith debuted in the car last week at Richmond Raceway.
BJ McLeod returns to Live Fast Motorsports’ No. 78 after Anthony Alfredo drove it at Richmond.
