Entry List: 2015 3M 250 at Iowa

While the Sprint Cup Series runs for $1 million in Charlotte, Xfinity Series regulars get a chance to shine at Iowa.

NASCAR released the entry list for the May 16 3M 250 at Iowa Speedway Monday afternoon. There are 41 entrants, meaning that one team will fail to make the race.

For the first time this season, there will be no Cup drivers in the NXS event. Instead, Camping World Truck Series driver Erik Jones and veteran Boris Said will try to score the victory for Joe Gibbs Racing while part-time driver Ryan Blaney will look to triumph in the No. 22 Discount Tire Ford for Team Penske.

Two young drivers will see their first Xfinity Series starts on Sunday. Two-time ARCA winner Brandon Jones will make his first start in the No. 33 Jen Weld/Menards Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, while 2014 K&N Pro Series East champion Ben Rhodes will start his first race for JR Motorsports, driving the No. 88 Alpha Energy Solutions Chevrolet.

Veteran Kenny Wallace will return for the second time in 2015, driving the No. 29 U.S. Cellular Toyota for owner Robby Benton. Wallace, 51, last won in the Xfinity Series in 2001.

Also returning to the sport’s second-tier division will be Timmy Hill, Ryan Ellis and 2000 series champion Jeff Green.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series will see their first track time on Saturday, May 16 when they hold two practice sessions before Coors Light Pole Qualifying at 5:45 p.m. ET. Coverage of the 3M 250 will begin on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.
