The official entry list has been released, and a total of 40 drivers and teams will take part in the regular season finale for the NASCAR Cup Series. 20 of those drivers face a must-win situation, meaning they have to win the race or face missing the 2025 playoffs.<\/a><\/p>\n

Along with the usual 36 full-time drivers and teams, there are four part-time entries filling out the field. Richard Childress Racing<\/a> will enter the No. 33 Chevrolet as a third entry with Austin Hill. The Xfinity Series regular has four wins at Daytona in the lower two divisions.<\/p>\n

The Carl Long-owned No. 66 Ford is also going to take part in the race with NASCAR veteran Casey Mears<\/a> behind the wheel, making his 591st start in the Cup Series.<\/p>\n

NY Racing Team<\/a> has also entered the No. 44 Chevrolet with Joey Gase<\/a> as the driver. Gase has 92 previous starts in the Cup Series, including Iowa earlier this year, where he finished 37th.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the field will include the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports<\/a> Chevrolet with team owner B.J. McLeod making his fourth start of the year. McLeod has just two tops in his Cup career, but both of those came at Daytona.<\/p>\n
