Crew chief changes

edit
  • Rodney Childers, a longtime Cup Series crew chief who most notably worked with Kevin Harvick at Stewart–Haas Racing for several years as a crew chief in the series, will join JRM in 2026 as the crew chief of the No. 1 car in which Kvapil and Zilisch will share.[27]
  • Jim Pohlman, who was the crew chief for JRM's No. 7 car driven by Justin Allgaier, moved up to the Cup Series to crew chief the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing car driven by Kyle Busch.[31]
  • Danny Efland, who was the crew chief of the AM Racing No. 25 car in 2025, will move to Viking Motorsports where he will crew chief their No. 99 car in 2026. He replaces Pat Tryson, who became the head of the team's shop operations.[48]
  • With JRM hiring Rodney Childers to crew chief the No. 1 car, former No. 1 car crew chief Andrew Overstreet will move to their No. 7 car to replace Jim Pohlman who left the team to crew chief for RCR in the Cup Series.[32]
  • JRM crew chiefs Phillip Bell and Cory Shea switched cars for 2026, with Bell moving from the full-time No. 8 to the part-time No. 9 and Shea moving from the part-time No. 9 to the full-time No. 8.[32]
  • Aeden McHugh moved from the No. 70 with Cope Family Racing to the No. 28 with RSS Racing.[130] George Church will replace McHugh as crew chief for the renumbered No. 30 car for CFR in their new partnership with Stanton Barrett Motorsports.[72]
  • Joshua Graham, who previously crew chiefed for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing in the Truck Series in 2025, will be the crew chief for Viking Motorsports' new No. 96 car driven by Anthony Alfredo. The two of them worked together in the series in 2024 at Our Motorsports in their No. 5 car.[47]
  • Joe Williams Jr, who crew chiefed the Alpha Prime Racing No. 4 car in 2025, will crew chief the new Hettinger Racing No. 5 car in 2026.[95]
  • Matt Weber, who was previously an engineer and crew chief for Our Motorsports, which closed down during the 2025 season, will be the new crew chief for Jeremy Clements' No. 51 car in 2026, replacing Kase Kallenbach.[18]

Manufacturer changes

edit

Haas Factory Team switched from Ford to Chevrolet in 2026, with a technical alliance with Hendrick Motorsports.[14] RSS Racing switched from Ford to Chevrolet in 2026 to continue its existing technical alliance with Haas Factory Team.[42]

Technical Changes

edit

Jeremy Clements Racing will form a technical alliance with Haas Factory Team.[131][42] Viking Motorsports and Jordan Anderson Racing formed technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing.[132][118]

Rule changes

edit

Loosening Cup Series restriction

edit

The amount of races full-time Cup drivers can run in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and Craftsman Truck Series was increased to ten and eight, respectively, up from the 2025 restriction of five in each series. Cup drivers remain ineligible for points, as well as unable to compete in the regular season finale and postseason events.[133]

Age limit

edit

The minimum age requirement to race in the O'Reilly Auto Parts series was lowered to 17 for road courses and oval tracks less than 1.25 miles in length. This change creates a staggered minimum age: 16 in Trucks, 17 in O'Reilly, and 18 in Cup series events.[133]

Postseason format

edit

NASCAR revealed a new postseason format in January 2026. Used in the top three series, it is a return of the Chase format previously used from 2004 to 2013 in the Cup Series. The top 12 drivers on points after 24 races will qualify for the Chase, with the 'win-and-you're-in' rule being scrapped, and starting points in the Chase will be staggered based on the regular season standings.[134] This format replaced a derided playoff system, which included four "rounds" with points resets. With the change, playoff points are no longer awarded.[134]

Fastest lap restriction

edit

Drivers who enter the garage during a race will no longer be eligible for the fastest lap bonus point. If the driver's fastest lap was achieved before they entered the garage, it will still stand.[135]

Schedule

edit

The 2026 schedule was released on August 20, 2025.

Notes: Race names and title sponsors are subject to change. Not all title sponsors/names of races have been announced for 2026. For the races where a 2026 name and title sponsor has yet to be announced, the title sponsors/names of those races in 2025 are listed.
