JR Motorsports expected to announce Daytona 500 entry
Today at 09:08 PM
The NASCAR team could make their first entry in the NASCAR Cup Series
Jr Motorsports has sent out a media alert. The team is set to announce something regarding Daytona tomorrow.
Fans are speculating this will be an announcement that the team will enter a car in the Daytona 500. If so, this will be the team’s first attempt at a NASCAR Cup Series start.
The team stated in the alert, “JR Motorsports co-owners Dale Earnhardt Jr and Kelley Earnhardt Miller will be joined by two special guests for a 2025 Daytona Announcement.”
The two special guests have not been announced. But, it sounds like a driver/crew chief.
For years, team owner by Dale Earnhardt Jr has stated they have interest in joining the NASCAR Cup Series. However, making that move has been held back due to the costs of a NASCAR Cup Series charter.

The announcement will be made via Zoom at 4:00pm on January 15, 2025.
