A total of 37 drivers are set to compete in the ninth race of the 2019 NASCAR Cup Series season, the Toyota Owners 400, at Richmond Raceway.

Richmond Raceway is scheduled to host two races throughout the course of the 36-race 2019 NASCAR Cup Series season, including one regular season race and one playoff race, the second of three races in the round of 12.

The regular season race at the four-turn, 0.75-mile (1.207-kilometer) oval in Richmond, Virginia is scheduled to take place this Saturday, April 13. This race, the Toyota Owners 400, is the ninth race on this year’s schedule.

A total of 37 drivers are set to compete in this 400-lap race at the track. The driver total of 37 on this entry list is tied for the fifth highest driver total on an entry list through the first one-quarter of the 2019 season.

All 33 of the full-time drivers who have competed in each of the season’s first eight races are set to compete in this race, including the 32 who are eligible to earn points in the Cup Series and the one, Premium Motorsports’ Ross Chastain, who isn’t.

Chastain is eligible to earn points in the Xfinity Series as opposed to the Cup Series, as he also competed in that series on a full-time basis.

Of the four part-time drivers who are set to compete in this Saturday night’s race, three are set to driver for chartered teams, although with the entry list featuring only 37 drivers, nobody will be bumped from the field and thus driving for a chartered team as opposed to a non-chartered team has minimal significance.

Petty Ware Racing’s Cody Ware, Rick Ware Racing’s Bayley Currey and Spire Motorsports’ Quin Houff are the three part-time drivers who are set to drive for chartered teams in this race while MBM Motorsports’ Joey Gase is the one part-time driver who is not.

Here is a list of the 37 drivers who are set to compete in the 2019 Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
