38 Drivers on NASCAR Cup Series Entry List for Texas

There are 38 drivers on the preliminary entry list for Sunday’s Würth 400 Presented by LIQUID MOLI at Texas Motor Speedway, the 11th event of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series campaign.
In addition to the 36 Chartered teams, which are required to enter every single NASCAR Cup Series event, there are two Open entries that will also take on the 1.5-mile intermediate racetrack located in Fort Worth, Texas.
Austin Cindric, who narrowly beat out Ryan Preece for the victory in Sunday’s Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, will return to the series looking for his first career victory on a mile-and-a-half in the NASCAR Cup Series. Cindric will drive the No. 2 Discount Tire Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Team Penske.
The two Open entries on the entry list for Sunday’s 400-mile contest are the No. 62 Beard Motorsports Chevrolet, which will be driven by Jesse Love and sponsored by C4 Ultimate Energy, as well as Chad Finchum, who will drive the No. 66 Hart HVAC Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Garage 66.
