Entry list
The official entry list for Saturday’s 200-lap Late Model Stock Car race is not yet public, but some big names in the NASCAR world have already announced their plans to race at Hickory.
That includes last year’s winner.
Coleman Pressley, who serves as Joey Logano’s spotter in the NASCAR Cup Series, drove to Victory Lane in the Fall Brawl last season with Logano calling the shots from the spotter stand. Prior to that event, he had not raced in seven years.
“I don‘t even know how to do restarts anymore or any of that stuff,” an elated Pressley told NASCAR.com after climbing from his car in Victory Lane. “It‘s pretty freaking cool.”
Added Logano, who was fresh off his 2022 NASCAR Cup Series championship: “It‘s so cool to see how good Coleman is. I know he is a great spotter, but how much he‘s watched what we do and the studying what we do together and how it‘s transformed him into a better driver even though he hasn‘t driven in seven years. It‘s pretty cool.”
Pressley last year became just the second driver in Fall Brawl history to win the race more than once. The other is Josh Berry, who has won the Fall Brawl four times.
Berry is another driver who will race in the 2023 edition. He’ll run for Kevin Harvick’s Late Model program.
The complete entry list for this year’s Fall Brawl at Hickory will be released in the coming days.
