Line-Up

The NASCAR Cup Series is set to take on the Michigan International Speedway for the next race of the 2025 season, with 36 cars registered for the race, with no open entries. While there are no open entries for now, we could see them come up in future races, now that 23XI Racing and FRM have lost the injunctions.

While the official starting lineup will be determined after Saturday’s qualifying session, fans can expect a star-studded field, including defending race winner Tyler Reddick, who led the restart in overtime last year to claim victory. Other names to watch include William Byron, who’s been a consistent contender this season, and Ryan Blaney, who’s coming fresh out of a victory at Nashville. With no open entries, the competition will be tight, as every driver in the field has earned their spot in this prestigious event.
