Entry List: 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte

There are 39 cars on the preliminary entry list for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the 13th race of the 36-race 2026 schedule.

With up to 40 cars permitted to start races in the NASCAR Cup Series, 41 entries with the Open Exemption Provisional, there will be no drivers or teams that will head home after this week’s qualifying session at the 1.5-mile speedway in Concord, NC.

Denny Hamlin, who won last weekend’s NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway, will return this weekend behind the wheel of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry XSE with primary sponsorship from National Debt Relief.

There are three “Open” entries slated to compete in the race this weekend: the No. 66 Garage 66 Ford Mustang Dark Horse will be driven by Josh Bilicki, the No. 67 23XI Racing Toyota Camry XSE will be driven by Corey Heim, and the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Chevrolet will be driven by Katherine Legge.

Legge will attempt to become the sixth driver to ever compete in the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, and the first female, first non-American, and oldest competitor in history to achieve the feat.

Kyle Busch was slated to pilot the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet in this event, but Busch tragically passed away this week at the age of 41. Austin Hill will pilot the car, which has been renumbered to the No. 33 by RCR.
