JJ Yeley to attempt 2022 Daytona 500 in 2nd MBM Motorsports entry

    MBM Motorsports announced on Thursday afternoon (02/03/2022), that they will attempt to qualify a second car into the 2022 "Daytona" 500. JJ Yeley has been tapped to drive the No. 55 Ford Mustang for the organization. It was previously announced that Timmy Hill would pilot the usual No. 66 MBM Motorsports entry in the Daytona 500, so both MBM cars will have to fight their way into the main events during qualifying and/or "The Duels at Daytona".

It should be noted that MBM Motorsports does not currently own a charter, and likely will not be able to purchase one before the "Daytona" 500 in just a few weeks. A charter ensures that teams will not miss an event due to poor qualifying, and also allows teams to have first grabs at racing supplies needed for NASCAR's Next Gen car. For that reason alone, the No. 66 and now the No. 55 will almost certainly appear at Daytona International Speedway in February, but whether or not they make it to the main event is unknown.

The 64th running of the NASCAR Cup Series "Daytona" 500 will take place on Sunday, February 20th, 2022 at 2:30 PM ET. The race event will be aired live on FOX. Be sure to catch all the Speedweeks action leading up to "The Great American Race" to see if JJ Yeley and MBM Motorsports make the main event.
