NASCAR 2024: Full driver & team lineup explored ahead of 2024 Cup Series season

A week is left to kick off the much-awaited 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season. NASCAR Cup teams and drivers have started preparing for the nine-month long racing season.

Thirty-four drivers will compete full-time in the 2024 Cup season and two charter cars set to take the field. As the season is coming closer, all 36 charter cars had confirmed drivers for the 2024 Cup season, but only 34 cars had confirmed full-time drivers throughout the NASCAR season.

AJ Allmendinger moved to ride full-time in Xfinity this season but will make multiple starts in the Kaulig Racing’s #16 Chevy, including season opener Daytona 500. The #16 entry will be shared throughout the season between multiple drivers.

Rick Ware Racing’s second car - #51 Ford is set to be driven by Justin Haley. JJ Yeley, who ran part-time in the #15 entry last season, will not return in 2024.

The #15 Ford entry will be shared between Kaz Grala and Cody Ware throughout the 36-race season.
