2026 NASCAR Cup Series Entry List for EchoPark Speedway Summer Race

Nairavoice · Jul 9, 2026 · 3 min read

The NASCAR Cup Series heads back to Georgia this weekend for the second trip to EchoPark Speedway this season.

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.

A total of 38 drivers are entered for Sunday’s Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart, meaning every entered car will make the race.

‘(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.
