Tricon Garage, with support from Joe Gibbs Racing, have confirmed that they plan to enter the No. 56 Toyota for 2017 NASCAR Cup Series champion Martin Truex Jr. at Daytona International Speedway for next month’s Cup Series season-opening Daytona 500.
Truex retired from full-time Cup Series competition at the end of the 2024 season but made clear that he wanted to continue to compete on a part-time basis, and he also indicated fairly early on that he planned to continue pursuing his first victory in the “Great American Race”.
Tricon Garage have never before competed in a Cup Series race, and it is worth pointing out that they are not guaranteed to do so next month either.
Martin Truex Jr. not locked into Daytona 500?
Truex has competed in 684 consecutive Cup Series races going back to the start of the 2006 season, the longest active streak in the series. Unlike in past years, when he was locked into the Daytona 500 field, that is not the case in 2025.
The No. 56 Toyota is a non-chartered (open) entry, so it is not locked into the 40-car field like the 36 chartered cars are. And there are well over four cars going for those four open spot
As of now, there are seven confirmed open cars on the entry list. They include the No. 40 JR Motorsports Chevrolet for Justin Allgaier, the No. 44 NY Racing Team for J.J. Yeley, the No. 62 Beard Motorsports Chevrolet for Anthony Alfredo, the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet for B.J. McLeod, the No. 84 Legacy Motor Club Toyota for Jimmie Johnson, and the No. 91 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet for Helio Castroneves.
Likely additions include the No. 15 Rick Ware Racing Ford and the No. 66 Garage 66 (formerly MBM Motorsports) Ford. MBM Motorsports had been on the entry list already before NASCAR ruled that their driver, Mike Wallace, would not be allowed to compete. Other potential additions include the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet and the No. 50 Team AmeriVet Chevrole
