NASCAR has announced its 2026 racing schedules for the Cup Series, O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and Truck Series.
The Cup Series has naturally taken the headlines, with Naval Base Coronado hosting the first San Diego street race and North Wilkesboro getting a points-paying race for the first time this century, but there's more intrigue under the hood.
NASCAR HEADLINES: Denny Hamlin frustrated with penalty as driver set to miss Daytona race
Portland, for one, has lost its race in the Xfinity Series (to be called the O'Reilly Auto Parts from 2026), while also losing the Mexico City race in a year where none of the three series leave the US.
Meanwhile, the Truck Series heads to St. Petersburg in Florida on the last weekend in February, to partner up with IndyCar for a pair of races which will both be aired by FOX, the series' first street race.
There is one caveat though, which is that NASCAR has admitted the playoff rounds are not yet final – with the format still subject to change, even though the races themselves are locked in.
With all of that and much more, the full schedules are below.
