The NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Phoenix Raceway this weekend for the Straight Talk Wireless 500. A field of 37 drivers has officially been set, with one part-time driver joining the field of the 36 full-time regulars for Sunday’s race in Phoenix.
A week after Jesse Love got behind the wheel of the No. 33 car for Richard Childress Racing at COTA, it’ll now be Austin Hill’s turn. Hill comes to Phoenix already having a win in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race this year at Daytona. Hill’s last Cup Series race came in the YellaWood 500 at Talladega back in October 2025, where he finished 22nd. In his last race at Phoenix, the Xfinity Series Championship, Hill placed ninth.
Let’s dive into the NASCAR entry list this week for Phoenix, with the full series of Cup Series drivers for the Straight Talk Wireless 500.
