Justin Fontaine - Niece Motorsports-45-CWT

Justin Fontaine (No. 45 ProMATIC Automation Chevrolet Silverado) will make his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) start at Gateway Motorsports Park this Saturday night.

"I think it’s going to be a tough race, but if we can take that same strategy that we used at Iowa, I think we’re going to be OK," said Fontaine. Recapping Iowa: After a couple of tough races, Fontaine and the No. 45 team rebounded nicely at Iowa Speedway, overcoming an accident in practice, to run inside the top-10 for much of the closing stages of the race. He crossed the finish line in 12th.-Niece Motorsports

Todd Gilliland - Kyle Busch Motorsports-4-CWT

Todd Gilliland (No. 4 Royal Canin Toyota Tundra) has one previous start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) at Gateway Motorsports Park.

Last year he started fourth and finished the opening two stages inside the top 10 before experiencing terminal transmission issues with 48 laps remaining and finishing 21st. In five NCWTS starts this season, Gilliland has three top-10 finishes and has led 63 laps. He led a race-high 62 laps at Texas Motor Speedway. Despite only competing in five of the nine races due to age restrictions, he currently ranks 17h in the Truck Series championship standings and is 123 points out of the eighth and final playoff spot.-KBM

Kyle Larson - Chip Ganassi Racing-42

Based on his career record on road courses, Kyle Larson should be rested this week for the Toyota / Save Mart 350k at Sonoma Raceway.

Larson has made eight previous starts on road courses. Four of these – including the last three – have ended in the 20s. Only one was a top-10 (a fourth at the Glen in his rookie season). That firmly suggests there are going to be better places to start him in the future.

William Byron - Hendrick Motorsports-24

William Byron will make his first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series start on a road course this week in the Toyota / Save Mart 350k at Sonoma Raceway.

Byron will run the K&N Series support race to get a little more experience – and that will help fantasy owners decide whether he will be a decent value. Last year, in three starts on road courses at the Xfinity level, he scored top-10s at Watkins Glen International and Road America, so he will be an interesting driver to watch.

Parker Kligerman - Gaunt Brothers Racing-96

After a solid run impacted by brake trouble at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Parker Kligerman will get a second opportunity at the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in the Gaunt Bros No. 96.

Kligerman finished 27th in that race, which was his second-best career finish in 11 starts. The road courses are equalizers, so Kligerman could contend for another result in that range in the Toyota / Save Mart 350k at Sonoma Raceway.

Riley Herbst - Joe Gibbs Racing-18-ARCA

Riley Herbst (No. 51 Advance Auto Parts Toyota Tundra) will make his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) debut this weekend at Gateway Motorsports Park.

The Las Vegas native made his first NASCAR Xfinity Series start last weekend at Iowa Speedway for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) where he finished sixth. He currently races full time for JGR in the ARCA Racing Series – in nine starts this season, he has three top-five and five top-10 finishes and has led 27 laps. Herbst will be pulling double duty this weekend, racing for JGR in the ARCA Series event on Friday night before competing in the Truck Series race on Saturday night. Herbst will make his second Truck Series start for Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway in September in the No. 46 Tundra.-KBM

Noah Gragson - Kyle Busch Motorsports-18-CWT

Coming off an exciting second-place finish at Iowa Speedway in Newton last week, Noah Gragson and the No. 18 Safelite AutoGlass team head to Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, Ill., for Saturday’s Eaton 200.

Gragson and his No. 18 team were one of three teams which participated in Goodyear’s two-day tire test at Gateway in April. The Las Vegas native is hoping the extra track time will help him improve on his result from last year’s race. Despite qualifying seventh, he was forced to start from the rear of the field after his team repaired left-side damage sustained when he got hit by another competitor on pit road during qualifying. He was able to work his way inside the top five late in the race before falling back a few spots in the closing laps and ending the day with a ninth-place finish.-KBM

Christian Eckes - Kyle Busch Motorsports-46-CWT

Christian Eckes will make his second of four NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) starts this season for Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) driving the No. 46 Mobil 1 Tundra Saturday in the Eaton 200 at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison, Ill.

Eckes started ninth, led four laps and finished eighth in a successful Truck Series debut last weekend at Iowa Speedway in Newton. Eckes picked up his first career ARCA Racing Series victory at Salem (Ind.) Speedway Apr. 22 after leading 72 laps of the 200-lap event, including the final 52 circuits. He has an average finish of 10.2 across his four ARCA starts in 2018. The 17-year-old driver will be pulling double duty this weekend at Gateway, driving the No. 15 Camry for Venturini Motorsports Friday night before competing in the Truck Series event for KBM Saturday.-KBM

Austin Wayne Self - Niece Motorsports-22-CWT

Austin Wayne Self (No. 22 GO TEXAN|AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet Silverado) will make his second NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) start at Gateway Motorsports Park this Saturday.

In his previous start, which came in 2016, he finished 28th. Recapping Iowa: Self and the No. 22 team worked hard all day to find the right balance on the No. 22 Chevrolet. After battling hot conditions and avoiding multiple on track incidents, Self earned a top-15 finish.-Niece Motorsports

Ryan Newman - Richard Childress Racing-31

Ryan Newman has finished on the lead lap in 30 of 32 starts on road courses during his career.

Newman has failed to finish only one road course race during his career. He crashed out of the 2014 race at the Glen on lap 55 of 90. Beside that DNF, he fell off the lead lap at the Glen well back at the start of his career in 2004 for his other incomplete race. He has earned only two top-10s in the last 10 decades, but his has proven to be able to go the distance.

Reed Sorenson - Premium Motorsports-55

Reed Sorenson is entered in the No. 07 Premium Motorsports car and barring any last minute chances, will make his first road course Cup start since 2014.

In 2014, he started both road course races for Tommy Baldwin in the back of the pack – 40th at Sonoma and 39th at the Glen. He improved in both events to finish 32nd and 23rd respectively. What is notable about that is his ability to add place differential points to the total by staying out of trouble.
