Battle at Berlin entry list

The current entry list for the 2024 Battle at Berlin 250 includes 33 competitors.

Leading this group is NASCAR Cup Series driver Erik Jones, who found Victory Lane in this event in 2015 and ’16 back when it was known as the Battle at Berlin 251. Only two months removed from a third-place finish in the Money in the Bank 150, Jones enters Wednesday as a strong favorite.

Among the drivers standing in Jones’ way will be fellow Cup Series competitor Carson Hocevar, who led a race-high 69 laps during the Money in the Bank 150 in June. Hocevar has racked up numerous accomplishments at Berlin, his home track including a championship in 2017. He’ll look to finally add a Battle at Berlin trophy to his resume Wednesday.

The driver who won this year’s Money in the Bank 150, Bubba Pollard, has momentum on his side as he seeks to defend his maiden Battle at Berlin 250 triumph from a season ago. Experience paid dividends for Pollard in 2023, as he executed a perfect tire conservation plan before passing Evan Shotko for the win during a late restart.

Shotko is also entered in Wednesday’s Battle at Berlin 250 with the goal of earning redemption from his near miss last year. Joining him in the field are Derek Griffith, Kole Raz, Treyten Lapcevich, Katie Hettinger, Gavan Boschele and Brian Campbell, among others.

Competition cautions will occur every 50 green flag laps. This does not apply within 15 laps of the finish.
