The NASCAR Cup Series is set for its second and final exhibition race weekend of the 2025 season this coming weekend at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
There are 20 drivers already locked into the 250-lap All-Star Race around the four-turn, 0.625-mile (1.006-kilometer) North Wilkesboro, North Carolina oval, and there are 18 others who are attempting to lock themselves in via the preceding 100-lap All-Star Open.
The 20 drivers who are locked in have locked themselves in either by winning a race in 2024 and/or 2025, winning a previous All-Star Race (and still competing full-time), and winning a previous Cup Series championship (and still competing full-time).
All things considered, there are 38 cars on the entry list this weekend, and a total of five changes have been made since this past Sunday afternoon's points race at Kansas Speedway.
For the first time in 2025, a change has been made to one of the full-time entries. Because he is already locked into the main event due to his Daytona International Speedway win in August 2024, Harrison Burton is set to drive the No. 51 Rick Ware Racing Ford which is usually driven by Cody Ware. Ware is still set to compete, but he is set to drive a second Rick Ware Racing entry: the No. 15 Ford.
Three other changes have been made. At Kansas, Richard Childress Racing fielded the No. 33 Chevrolet for Jesse Love, and 23XI Racing fielded the No. 67 Toyota for Corey Heim. Neither one of those cars, or drivers, are on the North Wilkesboro entry list.
However, there is still one other part-time car on the entry list: the No. 66 Garage 66 Ford. Chad Finchum is set to drive that car.
Justin Allgaier is also set to qualify the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet for Kyle Larson as Larson remains at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for Indy 500 practice and qualifying, but Larson is set to compete in the main event.
