ATLANTA, GA – The highly anticipated 2026 NASCAR season is set to ignite at Atlanta Motor Speedway with the release of the provisional entry lists for a thrilling triple-header weekend. Fans can anticipate a dynamic display of talent across the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, promising intense competition and memorable moments on the iconic Georgia track.
The premier NASCAR Cup Series event will feature a robust field of 38 entries, showcasing the sport’s top talent. Adding to the competitive depth, the open teams of BJ McLeod, piloting the #78 Live Fast entry, and JJ Yeley, in the #44 NY Racing Team machine, will join the 36 chartered teams. Notably, Casey Mears and the #66 team, who had initially planned to compete, have unfortunately withdrawn from the Atlanta event following damage sustained during Daytona Speedweek. This withdrawal, while a setback for Mears, underscores the demanding nature of early-season competition and the constant adjustments teams must make.
The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series promises a unique blend of seasoned veterans and rising stars. A significant draw for this event will be the presence of full-time Cup Series competitor Ross Chastain, who will make his debut behind the wheel of the #32 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet. Chastain’s foray into the O’Reilly Series, a developmental ground for many future Cup stars, is expected to draw considerable attention and provide valuable insights into his versatility. The series’ entry list stands at 39 cars, setting up a fierce battle for the 38 available starting positions, indicating a highly competitive environment.
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series segment of the triple-header is poised to be a showcase of raw talent and established names. A total of 36 entries have been confirmed, with several prominent Cup Series drivers slated to participate, highlighting the series’ significance as a proving ground. Among these notable entries are Kyle Busch in the #7 Spire Motorsports truck, Ty Dillon driving the #25 Kaulig Racing entry, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in the #45 Niece Motorsports truck, John-Hunter Nemechek piloting the #62 Halmar-Friesen machine, and Carson Hocevar in the #77 Spire Motorsports truck. The inclusion of these accomplished drivers adds significant star power and elevates the level of competition within the Truck Series. Furthermore, the reigning Truck Series champion, Corey Heim, is set to return to the grid, commanding the #1 entry for TRICON Garage, signaling his intent to defend his title and continue his impressive trajectory in the series.
