Brennan Poole's First Cup Start Since 2023 Highlights Pocono Entry List

NASCAR revealed the preliminary entry list for Sunday's The Great American Getaway 400 NASCAR Cup Series event at Pocono Raceway. Contained on the list are 37 drivers and teams, which means nobody will be going home at the conclusion of this weekend's qualifying session.
The most notable entry comes in the form of the lone "Open" entry on the list, the No. 44 NY Racing Team Chevrolet. This weekend, the NY Racing Team will have Brennan Poole, a full-time NASCAR Xfinity Series racer, behind the wheel of its cars. This will mark the first NASCAR Cup Series start for Poole since a 2023 start in the fall of 2023.
