Overview
- NASCAR’s official entry lists released Monday show 39 cars for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and 38 trucks for the Craftsman Truck Series, which means one car and two trucks will fail to qualify under series limits.
- YouTube creator Cleetus McFarland (Garrett Mitchell) will drive Richard Childress Racing’s No. 33 in the O’Reilly race, and 2024 Truck champion Corey Heim is entered in TRICON Garage’s No. 1 for the Black’s Tire 200.
- Other notable names include Adam Andretti returning in TRICON’s No. 5 truck, Carson Hocevar in Spire’s No. 77 truck, and Sammy Smith in JR Motorsports’ No. 8 car as last year’s Rockingham winner of record.
- The schedule locks in TV windows with Truck practice and qualifying Friday on the Fox Sports app and the Truck race at 4:30 p.m. ET on FS1, then the O’Reilly race Saturday at 2:30 p.m. ET on The CW after Friday practice and qualifying on the CW or Fox apps.
- Several entries still list TBA drivers, including Joey Gase Motorsports’ No. 35 and Young’s Motorsports’ No. 42 in the O’Reilly field and Kaulig Racing’s No. 10 truck, which sets up late lineup moves before qualifying in a Cup off-week as Rockingham returns for a second straight season.
