What is the Entry List?
The entry list is the list of drivers who have completed an entry form signaling intent to race in the race. Entry forms must be completed and returned to NASCAR's Competition Department 13 days prior to a race. All drivers with a completed form is placed on the race entry list.
Don't use the entry list as the final authority on which drivers will be in the race though, especially when it comes to your low-tier fantasy NASCAR driver group. Many times a driver will not be on the entry list but is in the race.
