37 on Entry List for NASCAR Cup Series South Point 400 at Las Vegas

On Monday, NASCAR released the preliminary entry list for Sunday's South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the first race in the semi-final round of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.

This weekend, there will be 37 cars making the trip across the country to the 1.5-mile intermediate oval of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Of the teams on the preliminary entry list, 36 of them possess a NASCAR Cup Series charter, and thus would be guaranteed into the event should there be more than 40 entries.

The only non-chartered team entered in Sunday's 400-mile contest belongs to seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson, who will drive the No. 84 Toyota Camry XSE for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB.

Other notables include Cody Ware, who returns to the seat of the No. 15 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for the first time since Talladega. Shane Van Gisbergen will make another conquest in the NASCAR Cup Series this weekend, driving the No. 16 Chevrolet Camaro for Kaulig Racing.

Kyle Larson, who captured the victory in last Sunday's Bank of America ROVAL 400 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL, has won the last two NASCAR Cup Series events at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
