After the first NASCAR Cup Series race with only the 36 chartered cars on the entry list since August 2024 took place this past weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, this coming Sunday's Straight Talk Wireless 400 is set to see the return of a non-chartered (open) entry.
NY Racing Team, which failed to qualify for the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway with J.J. Yeley behind the wheel of the No. 44 Chevrolet, returned for the following weekend's race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
They have not been back since, missing the races at Circuit of the Americas (COTA), Phoenix Raceway, and Las Vegas. But they are set to return this weekend.
The No. 44 Chevrolet is the only open car on the entry list for this 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Homestead, Florida oval, so like the 36 chartered cars, it is locked into the race.
The inclusion of this car, which is once again set to be driven by Yeley, is the only change to the entry list from this past Sunday's Pennzoil 400.
Here is the full entry list for this weekend.
