The NASCAR Cup Series is ready to take on the 2026 Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, and the entry list has been revealed.

NASCAR released the 2026 Jack Link's 500 and O'Reilly Series entry list for Talladega on Monday afternoon. Talladega is the first superspeedway track since EchoPark Speedway in late February, but it won't feature the Truck Series. The NASCAR level has an off-weekend.

All 36 full-time drivers are present for the 2026 Jack Link's 500 on Sunday afternoon. This is the second season in the charter system's history in which all 36 entries have a full-time competitor. Jesse Love (Richard Childress Racing), Joey Gase (NY Racing Team), Casey Mears (Beard Motorsports), Chad Finchum (Garage 66), and Daniel Dye (Live Fast Motorsports) are the open entries, making it a 41-driver field.
