Ambrose, Terry Labonte on Indy entry list

Marcos Ambrose makes his debut with what is now JTG Daugherty Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this weekend. Ambrose is one of 47 drivers on the preliminary entry list for the Allstate 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

He is also one of the drivers who will need to qualify based on speed.

Mark Martin, who earlier this season said that he planned to win this race, is back in the Dale Earnhardt Inc. No. 8 he shares with Aric Almirola.

The surprise on the entry list is Terry Labonte in the No. 45 Petty Enterprises Dodge. Kyle Petty has been out of that car while working in the TNT broadcast booth, but that stint has ended.

Stanton Barrett is also on the entry list, driving the No. 50 Ski Motorsports Chevrolet, and Jason Leffler returns in the No. 70 Haas CNC Racing Chevrolet.

Qualifying for the Allstate 400 is scheduled for 10:10 a.m. EDT Saturday, with the race at 2 p.m. Sunday.
