The Money Team (TMT) Racing is one of the NASCAR Cup Series’ unchartered teams, meaning that Daly will have to qualify his way into the event, should more than 40 cars enter the series’ annual event at Charlotte’s ROVAL.
TMT Racing, a brand-new organization in the NASCAR Cup Series this season, has competed in three races this season including the Daytona 500, having fielded the No. 50 Chevrolet Camaro for Kaz Grala.
In three starts, the organization has recorded finishes of 23rd, 25th, and 26th.
Daly’s Cup Series debut won’t be his first rodeo in NASCAR, as the Noblesville, Indiana-native has made a pair of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts, as well as a start in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, netting a best finish of 18th in 2020.
