The ARCA Menards Series kicks off its 2025 season next week at Daytona International Speedway.
There are 47 cars entered for 40 positions, meaning seven will fail to qualify, barring any entry list changes.
The entry list includes nine drivers currently announced for the full schedule in Lavar Scott, Lawless Alan, Brenden Queen, Thad Moffitt, Brad Smith, Isabella Robusto, Jason Kitzmiller, Michael Maples and Brayton Laster.
Of the 47 entries, many are looking to make their series debuts, too — nine in all. They’re headlined by four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves, who’ll drive Pinnacle Racing Group’s No. 82 in preparation for his Daytona 500 debut that weekend.
Chase Pinsonneault is entered in Venturini Motorsports’ No. 15, while Nick White, son of former ARCA driver Drew White, is entered in a family-owned No. 22.
Longtime NTT IndyCar Series competitor Katherine Legge looks to make her ARCA debut in Sigma Performance Services’ No. 23, which will run the full ARCA Menards Series East schedule and other main-series events with Tyler Reif.
Rette Jones Racing’s two-car program features a pair of debuting drivers in Kyle Steckly (No. 29) and Garrett Mitchell (No. 30).
Bob Martin is entered in a self-owned No. 52 with Jeff Spraker, who owns the occasionally competing No. 63 (not entered this weekend) as crew chief.
Nolan Wilson is one of two Kimmel Racing cars entered; he’ll drive the No. 69.
Kole Raz, who’s previously only competed in the ARCA Menards Series West, will look to make his main-series debut in AM Racing’s No. 76.
In addition to debuting drivers, new-to-ARCA teams making the trek — alongside the already-mentioned Nos. 22 and 52 for White and Martin, respectively — include Nitro Motorsports, which entered the Nos. 46 and 70 for Moffitt and Amber Balcaen.
