The Bristol Dirt Track races are right around the corner, and by the time you’re reading this, there’s a good chance there will have already been cars on the track competing.

To get you ready, we’re tracking the unveiled entry lists for each national tour scheduled to be competing on the dirt track that we cover.

The World of Outlaws Sprint Cars are slated to race the Bristol Throwdown on April 23 and 24 with a practice day preceding the two-night show.

The 16 full-time World of Outlaws drivers will be making their way to Tennessee, with the lone question mark being whether James McFadden can get to the United States in time to run the event.

As for the others, a handful of ASCoC regulars will be invited to the unique event. Headlined by sprint car veterans Cory Eliason and Ian Madsen as well as rookie of the year contender Tyler Courtney, the tour didn’t really miss a mark. I’d expect more drivers to be revealed from the other series as well.

Rico Abreu will be racing over the Bristol dirt weekend as well – although it has not been confirmed if he will race in the Works Limited 57 or a car of his own. At the very least he’ll have one car at the track that weekend for Jac Haudenschild – who’s in his farewell season.

Two cars that are no strangers to Knoxville Raceway have been invited as well in defending track champion Brian Brown as well as KCP Racing’s Gio Scelzi.

The full, confirmed entry list can be found below, however this is not a notation of who was invited and who was not. Every name on the list is accepted invites:
