The 37-car entry list for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway was made public by NASCAR on Monday afternoon. All 36 full-time Chartered NASCAR Cup Series entrants and two part-time “Open” entries are included in the entry list. The return of Casey Mears, who will start in the NASCAR Cup Series for the first time since the 2019 season, is the most noteworthy addition. Mears will drive the No. 66 Garage 66 (previously MBM Motorsports) Ford Mustang Dark Horse, marking his 490th career start.
Mears’ only NASCAR Cup Series victory occurred at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the 2007 Coca-Cola 600. In that race, Mears was operating the No. 25 Hendrick Motorsports car. This weekend, Burt Myers, who participated in the preseason exhibition race at Bowman Gray Stadium, will make his comeback as Team AmeriVet Racing’s driver of the No. 50 Chevrolet.
