The #9 of Hendrick Motorsports is currently listed without a driver and Josh Berry replaced the injured Chase Elliott last week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Stewart-Haas Racing driver Chase Briscoe won last year’s United Rentals Work United 500, previously known as Ruoff Mortgage 500, and finished with a total time of three hours, six minutes, and 34 seconds. He will be looking forward to defending his title this weekend.
