Connor Zilisch is making his first NASCAR start on an oval this weekend. This race is highly-anticipated after his stellar Truck Series debut in March at Circuit of the Americas.

William Sawalich is in the No. 1 TRICON Garage Toyota. The Minnesota native is fresh off a win at home in a thrilling three-wide finish last Saturday at Elko Speedway.

Trey Hutchens, Jerry Bohlman, Kaden Honeycutt, Conner Jones, Justin Carroll and Connor Hall are among the part-time drivers entered this weekend. Mason Maggio is also back with Floridian Motorsports. Floridian Motorsports seemingly disappeared from the entry list for a couple of weeks. However, they are back again.

Playoff picture in the regular-season finale

Christian Eckes (three wins), Corey Heim (five wins), Ty Majeski (one win), Nick Sanchez (two wins), Rajah Caruth (one win), Tyler Ankrum (+83 points) and Grant Enfinger (+77) are all locked in so far.

That leaves three spots to be settled among these drivers:

8. Taylor Gray 425 (+48 points to the cutline)
9. Ben Rhodes 399 (+22)
10. Tanner Gray 382 (+5)
11. Daniel Dye 377 (-5 points to the cutline)
12. Stewart Friesen 366 (-16)
13. Matt Crafton 339 (-43)
14. Chase Purdy 338 (-44)

If Taylor Gray can maintain his advantage to the cutline through the first two stages, he will lock himself into the playoffs before the end of the race.

Out of mathematical contention are these drivers who could still win and get into the playoffs (15th-23rd in points):

Dean Thompson, Layne Riggs, Jake Garcia, Bayley Currey, Ty Dillon, Bret Holmes, Matt Mills, Timmy Hill, Mason Massey

Lawless Alan (25th) and Spencer Boyd (27th) can also get in with a win.
