    Dale Earnhardt Jr's nephew, Jefferey Earnhardt will make his Cup series debut as well.
    Oddly enough thou, Jefferey has not won a Xfinity race in his entire 7 years racing in the series.
    He only made 2 top 10 finishes which both came this year.
    Has never been in the top 5


    Qualifying is about to get underway
