The NASCAR Cup Series’ Shrinders Children’s 500 is scheduled for approximately 3:41 p.m. EST Sunday, March 9.

Defending Cup Series champion Joey Logano will look to repeat as winner at the 1-mile short track.

Kyle Busch has three wins, the most recent in 2019, followed by Denny Hamlin with two (2012, 2019).
