38 Cars Featured on NASCAR Cup Entry List at Homestead-Miami Speedway
On Monday afternoon, NASCAR officially dropped its entry lists for this weekend's NASCAR National Series events at Homestead-Miami Speedway. There are 38 cars (the 36 Chartered entries plus two "Open" entries) featured on the entry list for Sunday's Straight Talk Wireless 400.
Part-time NASCAR Cup Series rookie of the year contender Kaz Grala returns this weekend in the No. 15 Rick Ware Racing Ford Mustang Dark Horse after Cody Ware drove the car to a 21st-place finish last weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
AJ Allmendinger, who will return to the NASCAR Cup Series full-time in 2025, will pilot the No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. This will mark the 16th start of the NASCAR Cup Series season for Allmendinger, who won the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Las Vegas to advance to the Championship 4 in that Series this past weekend.
The two "Open" entries will consist of the No. 44 NY Racing Team Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, which will be driven by veteran racer JJ Yeley, and the No. 66 MBM Motorsports Ford Mustang Dark Horse, driven by Chad Finchum.
