There are 45 entries for the Nationwide Series Dollar General 300 on Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

It will be the second race where the Truex brothers – Martin Truex Jr. and Ryan Truex – will compete against each other. Martin Truex will be in the No. 00 Diamond-Waltrip Racing car, while Ryan will be in the team’s No. 99, which is locked in the field.

Martin Truex is one of 13 Cup regulars entered. The others include series points leader Brad Keselowski, who will give team owner Roger Penske his first NASCAR championship if he finishes 14th or better in the final five races.

The other Cup drivers entered are Carl Edwards (Roush Fenway Racing), Ryan Newman (Phoenix Racing), David Reutimann (Braun Racing), Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing), Joey Logano (Joe Gibbs Racing), Clint Bowyer (Shepherd Racing Ventures), Reed Sorenson (Braun Racing), Kevin Harvick (Kevin Harvick Inc.), Michael McDowell (MacDonald Motorsports), Joe Nemechek (Nemco Motorsports) and Paul Menard (Roush Fenway).

Drivers entered in cars that have used multiple drivers this year include David Starr (Day Enterprises Racing), Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (Roush Fenway Racing), Danica Patrick (JR Motorsports), Brian Scott (RAB Racing), James Buescher (Braun Racing), Colin Braun (Roush Fenway), Robert Richardson Jr. (R3 Motorsports), Parker Kligerman (K-Automotive Motorsports), Hermie Sadler (Baker Curb Racing), Josh Wise (Baker Curb), Shelby Howard (ML Motorsports) and Aric Almirola (JR Motorsports).

Also entered are Trevor Bayne (Roush Fenway Racing), Kelly Bires (Team Rensi Motorsports), Jeff Green (TriStar Motorsports), Morgan Shepherd (Faith Motorsports) and Carl Long (Fleur-De-Lis Motorsports).

Because this is a race with the new Nationwide Series car, teams will get a full day of practice Wednesday in addition to Thursday’s regularly scheduled practice time.
