Darlington news as we get closer to Throwback weekend;

all 3 series released entry lists (as shown above 3 posts I have already inputted the race schedule);

CWTS: 43 entries; BUT due to the rule of no practice or qualifying 6 teams between the Trucks/XFINITY are ineligible to start due to new teams or not enough points; the 3 in the Trucks are the 14-Hutchens; the CMI 49- OF Ciccarelli and the 96 of Todd Peck;

Driver updates: as broken yesterday Ryan Reed will be in the GMS 24 for the departed Raphael Lessard;

Niece has not confirmed the driver of the #44, BUT Erik Darnell returns in the #45; it will mark Darnell's return since 2008;

Front Row Motorsports/RBR collaborate of the 1998 throwback schematic for Todd Gilliland as Black's Tire original schematic from that season returns for the night;

XFINITY:

43 teams here as well for Darlington so again, the 03-Lally/31-Anderson/77-Bassitt TEAMS are not eligible;

Myatt Snider honors grandfather Jimmie Lewallen in throwback schematic for Tax Slayer;

ironic twist: Richmond Raceway and Dale Jr. announce jointly that the co-owner of JRM will run at Richmond in September; the twist: the race will be 9/11/21;

Cup:

37 entries for the inaugural Goodyear 400;

Driver updates: 15-Davison; 53-Yeley; 77-Haley;

2 MORE throwbacks: 23XI will honor Wendell Scott SHR's #14 the 1986 AJ Foyt schematic

another odd move here:

Niece Motorsports acquired asset and points from the #34 RBR entry in exchange for the #44 Entry points;

Pocono announces it'll be fully operationable for the septheader in June between ARCA/CWTS/XFINITY/CUP

Spencer Davis to honor Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip's short Truck Series career as a driver from 2004;

Niece Motorsports reorganizes teams.... the 44 becomes the 42, the 45 becomes the 44...as all crew chiefs get swapped between the 3 teams; Currey retained in the 44 for Darlington

XFINITY:

Brandon Jones to honor Fox Sports CWTS Insider Todd Bodine by honoring the 2006 championship schematic;
