After 24 years in NASCAR, JR Motorsports enters the Daytona 500 with Justin Allgaier, marking their first-ever Cup race. A dream come true for the team and their fans.

For the first time in JR Motorsports history, the team co-owned by two-time Daytona 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his sister Kelley Earnhardt Miller will field an entry in the Daytona 500 with NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Justin Allgaier as the driver.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s JR Motorsports is making its NASCAR Cup Series debut at the 2025 Daytona 500 with Justin Allgaier behind the wheel of the No. 40 Chevrolet.

The NASCAR team owned by Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. will attempt to make its Cup Series debut in the biggest race with a champion driver and a partnership with a Grammy Award-winning artist.

JR Motorsports has run in the second-tier Xfinity Series since 2006, but a Daytona 500 attempt with Justin Allgaier marks the team's first-ever Cup Series entry.

This marks the first time JR Motorsports has entered a car in a Cup race and it comes at the event Dale Earnhardt Jr. won twice as a driver.

JR Motorsports will attempt to make its NASCAR Cup Series debut next month, announcing Wednesday that the organization will bid for a starting spot in the 2025 Daytona 500 with reigning Xfinity Series champion Justin Allgaier behind the wheel.
