The one and only off weekend of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season has come and gone, and action is scheduled to pick back up again this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.
Sunday afternoon's Jack Link's 500 is the 10th race on the 36-race schedule, and with the exhibition All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway thrown in there as well, Sunday's race is set to mark the first of 28 consecutive race weekends for NASCAR's top series.
The entry list for Sunday's 188-lap race around the four-turn, 2.66-mile (4.281-kilometer) high-banked Lincoln, Alabama oval looks quite a bit different than it did for the race at Bristol Motor Speedway two Sundays ago.
There are 39 drivers set to compete, just as there were at Bristol, and the 36 chartered entries are all still driven by the same full-time drivers. But the three non-chartered (open) cars that ran at Bristol are not on this week's entry list, while three others are.
Here's a look at the entry list for Sunday's race at Talladega.

The race at Bristol featured the No. 01 Rick Ware Racing Ford for Corey LaJoie, the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet for Jesse Love, and the No. 66 MBM Motorsports Ford for Josh Bilicki. None of those cars, nor drivers, will be competing in this weekend's Cup Series race.
They have been replaced by the No. 44 NY Racing Team Chevrolet for J.J. Yeley, the No. 62 Beard Motorsports Chevrolet for Anthony Alfredo, and the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet for B.J. McLeod.
Yeley most recently competed in the race at Darlington Raceway earlier this month, while Alfredo is set to make his first start of the year after failing to qualify for the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway.
In fact, Yeley, Alfredo, and McLeod all failed to qualify for this year's "Great American Race". McLeod has not competed since the season's second race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, though the No. 78 Chevrolet was entered at Phoenix Raceway for Katherine Legge.
