Full NASCAR Cup Series Entry List for the 2026 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to one of the sport’s most iconic venues this weekend as Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosts the 2026 Brickyard 400.

NASCAR has released the official entry list for Sunday’s race, with 39 drivers entered for the annual crown-jewel event. Because fewer than 40 cars are entered, every driver on the list is locked into the field.

Among the notable names is Connor Zilisch, who returns to Cup competition in the No. 88 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet after making his series debut earlier this season. Corey Heim is also entered in the No. 67 Toyota for 23XI Racing, while veteran Casey Mears returns in the No. 66 Chevrolet for Beard Motorsports.

The weekend also marks the championship round of NASCAR’s inaugural In-Season Challenge, with Ryan Blaney and Todd Gilliland battling head-to-head for the $1 million prize while competing in Sunday’s Brickyard 400.
