When taking the green-flag for Sunday’s Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, the NASCAR Cup Series is poised to have its second full 40-car field of the 2025 campaign, according to a Monday entry list released by NASCAR.

The field will be comprised of the typical 36 Chartered NASCAR Cup Series entries, featuring the series’ most-recent winner Kyle Larson (in the No. 5 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet) and his teammate and the series points leader William Byron (in the No. 24 Chevrolet).

Also entered into the first of two NASCAR Cup Series events this season at Talladega Superspeedway are three part-timers, who do not possess a NASCAR Cup Series charter and run part-time on the circuit.

J.J. Yeley will return to the series, as well, driving the No. 44 Chevrolet for NY Racing. Anthony Alfredo will make his second NASCAR Cup Series start of the 2025 season with Beard Motorsports, driving the No. 62 Chevrolet. Meanwhile, BJ McLeod, with the support of his new endeavor, Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster, will drive the No. 78 for Live Fast Motorsports.
