Overview
- NASCAR released official entry lists on Monday that set the Brickyard 400 Cup field at 39 drivers with 36 chartered starters and three open entries that must qualify.
- Austin Hill is listed in the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing car following Kyle Busch’s reported passing, a roster change reflected on the Cup entry list.
- The three open Cup entries are Casey Mears (Beard Motorsports), Corey Heim (23XI Racing), and Daniel Dye (Live Fast Motorsports), any of whom could fail to make the race on speed.
- NASCAR also published the TSport 200 Truck entry list for Lucas Oil Raceway showing 38 trucks entered, which means two drivers will not make the race after qualifying.
- This Indianapolis weekend remains NASCAR’s only 2026 date at the venue and continues the Brickyard’s third straight year on the oval configuration, preserving the event’s established format.
