39 cars are entered, meaning one driver will go home.

Taylor Gray and John Hunter Nemechek are in the rotating Joe Gibbs Racing entries. Nemechek won this race last year.

Noah Gragson is the other NASCAR Cup Series driver entering this weekend as he is back with Rette Jones Racing.

Fresh off of making the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series playoffs, Daniel Dye is entered in the No. 10 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet this weekend.

Carson Kvapil is back in the No. 88 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports.

Racing for Sam Hunt Racing this weekend is Jeffrey Earnhardt.

Making his Xfinity Series debut is Lawless Alan, driving for AM Racing in the No. 15 Ford.

Morgen Baird will also finally get to make his Xfinity Series debut, in his home state no less. He will race for Joey Gase Motorsports. In March, he was all ready to make his series debut before his wife experienced complications while giving birth.

ARCA Menards Series’ Henry Ford Health 200

Friday at 6 p.m. on FS1 (100 laps)

Practice and qualifying: Friday at 1:30 p.m.

The ARCA Menards Series is back following a week off and a wild finish at Elko Speedway in Minnesota the week before.

William Sawalich took home the victory in his home state in a three-wide, slideways photo finish with Lavar Scott and Kris Wright.

Sawalich led 147 of the first 148 laps. On lap 149, while lapping Michael Maples, Maples drove into Sawalich, turning him around and causing damage to his car.

Sawalich overcame the damage and a flat tire to take the lead with three laps to go, on the heels of a bump-and-run that Scott returned coming to the white flag. They raced side-by-side for a lap, then three-wide as Wright made a dive to the inside in a finish that saw Sawalich win by 0.011 seconds over Scott.

Scott and Wright will be back this weekend at Michigan. Scott is 44 points behind Rev Racing teammate Andres Perez in the championship battle with eight races to go. Wright is 71 points back in fourth, behind Greg Van Alst (-65).

Perez will be tough to challenge. He is looking for redemption after leading 43 laps before blowing an engine with nine laps to go in the 100-lap event that extended five laps in overtime.

TOP-10 FINISHERS LAST YEAR: Jesse Love, Gus Dean, Connor Mosack, Andy Jankowiak, Frankie Muniz, Morgan Baird, Christian Rose, Cody Coughlin, Gage Rodgers, Jon Garrett
