Following last week’s race at Chicagoland Speedway, drivers now turn their attention to one of NASCAR’s most unpredictable tracks. The recently rebranded 1.54-mile drafting oval regularly produces pack racing, multi-car crashes and dramatic finishes, making it one of the most difficult races on the schedule to predict.

‘(i)’ denotes a driver ineligible to score Cup Series driver championship points.

EchoPark Speedway marks the 20th points-paying race of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season and the second visit to the Georgia track this year. The event also serves as Round 3 of NASCAR’s In-Season Challenge, with eight head-to-head matchups determining which drivers advance to the semifinal round.

Unlike many intermediate tracks, EchoPark Speedway’s high banking and drafting-style racing often creates superspeedway-like packs, giving nearly every driver in the field a legitimate chance to contend for the victory.

The green flag for the Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 12, with television coverage on TNT Sports.
