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.

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.

Justin Allgaier will attempt to qualify for the 2025 Daytona 500 driving the No. 40 Chevrolet Camaro owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Greg Ives — Earnhardt Jr.'s crew chief in the Cup Series from 2015 to 2017 — will serve as the crew chief for the team.

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.
