2018 GEICO 500 at Talladega Entry List

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series heads to the Talladega Superspeedway this weekend for the GEICO 500. The second wild card race of the season could and will see any number of different things happen before we send a driver to victory lane. Last season Ricky Stenhouse Jr. secured his first career victory in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and on Sunday there's a list of drivers who want to be the next first-time winner at Talladega.

Kyle Busch is looking to secure his fourth straight victory of the season while Kevin Harvick is looking for his fourth victory of the season. Both drivers have risen to the occasion so far this season and have clearly marked themselves as the first championship contenders. Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr., and Austin Dillon have also found victory lane this season and will look to add another victory stickers to their name rails.

For the first time in a while, we have a 40 car field for Sunday's race. Here is the entry list for Sunday's GEICO 500 at Talladega.
