With 41 entries, one driver will fail to qualify for the NASCAR Cup race in Chicago

In something that has become increasingly rare in modern NASCAR, there will be a DNQ (did not qualify) in this weekend's Cup race at the Chicago Street Course.

Along with the 36 full-time chartered teams, five open entries will also show up for the final four spots on the grid. The slowest among them will miss the show and be the first driver and team sent home in qualifying since the season-opening Daytona 500. And according to reporter Seth Eggert, this will be the first non-500 race with a DNQ since 2018 at Texas Motor Speedway!
