I wish, but sadly I won't be. I get really really sick when in the heat nowadays.

The newest entry list now features Yeley in the 44 so there are 41 entries.
When was the last time there was a DNQ in Cup outside of the Daytona 500?

Goodyear Fast Facts — Atlanta
NASCAR Cup Series — Race No. 18 – 260 laps / 400 miles
Echo Park Speedway (1.54-mile oval) – Hampton, Ga.
Fast Facts for June 27-28, 2025
Tire: Goodyear Eagle 18-inch Superspeedway Radials
Set limits: Cup: 1 set for qualifying and 9 sets for the race (8 race sets plus 1 set transferred from qualifying)
Tire Codes: Left-side — D-5174; Right-side — D-5228
Tire Circumference: Left-side — 2,264 mm (89.13 in.); Right-side — 2,279 mm (89.72 in.)
Minimum Recommended Inflation: Left Front — 20 psi; Left Rear — 22 psi; Right Front — 52 psi; Right Rear — 50 psi
Notes – Fourth race for Cup cars on this Atlanta tire set-up: … this is the same combination of left- and right-side tires that these teams have run at Atlanta since the beginning of 2024 . . . this is the only track at which these teams are scheduled to run either of these two tire codes . . . with this 18-inch tire, and its lower profile sidewall, NASCAR Cup cars do not run inner liners in any of their tires.
Goodyear quote – Stu Grant, Goodyear’s general manager of global race tires: “This weekend’s race marks the first repeat track on the Cup schedule, so teams have a good notebook built on this tire set-up. Since we’ve been running the superspeedway rules package there, Atlanta has produced some of the best racing on the NASCAR circuit. There are only nine races left in the Cup regular season, so teams are making moves and putting themselves in their best position for the playoffs.”

According to Google AI, it was the 2015 Talladega fall race which had 45 entries.

That entry stuff has become almost a non entity now days. Back in the day if a big player blew an engine, tire or whatever in qualifying, it was a pretty done deal. Now if it is anybody with a half way decent record, they get in with a provisional and put to the back. Now they are even allowed to shuffle drivers and sponsors to other team cars that made it in to the race.
