The entry list features 37 trucks for 36 spots, meaning that one will miss the race after Friday afternoon's qualifying session (4:35 p.m. ET on FS2). This list includes Chase Briscoe, who makes his first Truck Series start since Bristol Dirt in 2023. It also has Kyle Busch, who pursues his second Truck Series win of the season and his 69th in the third-tier series.
The other guest stars from the Cup Series include Christopher Bell, Daniel Suarez, Ross Chastain, Carson Hocevar and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
- No. 4 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet - Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

- No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet - Kyle Busch
- No. 45 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet - Ross Chastain
- No. 62 Halmar Friesen Toyota - Christopher Bell

These Cup regulars are not the only drivers infiltrating the series on Friday. Kaulig Racing will give Dirt Late Model star Carson Ferguson a shot to make his NASCAR debut as he takes over the No. 25 Ram 1500. Additionally, Luke Baldwin will continue to gain experience in the series as he joins Team Reaume.
Possibly the biggest story of the race is Corey Heim, who has a chance to make history yet again. The part-time driver has started the last two races for Tricon Garage, and he has won both.
He won $50,000 in the Triple Truck Challenge opener at Darlington Raceway and then he won another $100,000 by winning the Triple Truck Challenge race at Rockingham Speedway.
No driver has ever won all three races in this series, but Heim has a chance to do so at Bristol Motor Speedway. A win would add another $350,000 to his total, taking him to $500,000.
