There are 38 drivers on the preliminary entry list for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series AutoTrader 400 at EchoPark Speedway (formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway).
Alongside the traditionally entered 36 Chartered Entries in the NASCAR Cup Series field, a pair of Open Entries have decided to come along to Hampton, Georgia, to participate in the second event of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series campaign: the No. 44 Chevrolet for NY Racing, driven by JJ Yeley, and the No. 78 Chevrolet for Live Fast Motorsports, driven by BJ McLeod.
Last year’s winner of the February event at EchoPark Speedway, Christopher Bell, will be in the field for Sunday’s event, piloting the No. 20 Toyota Camry XSE for Joe Gibbs Racing. Bell won the event in a three-wide “photo finish” (at the moment of caution) with Carson Hocevar and Kyle Larson.
Tyler Reddick, winner of the DAYTONA 500, will also be in the field for Sunday’s event, driving the No. 45 Pinnacle Toyota Camry XSE for 23XI Racing. Reddick heads into the second race of the season as the series points leader.
Coverage of the AutoTrader 400 will be on Sunday, February 22, at 3:00 PM ET on FOX.
