There are 36 NASCAR races in 2026, starting with the Regular Season races which began in February. They run until the Cup Series Chase in November. Because there are so many to watch, it can be difficult to keep track of all of them.

Texas Motor Speedway will host a three-day NASCAR event featuring the Truck Series, O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and Cup Series. Carson Kvapil will drive JR Motorsports’ No. 9 car in the O’Reilly race, while Connor Zilisch takes over the No. 1 entry.

NASCAR is actively looking for newer locations for its non-point-paying races in the calendar. Much like the Colosseum and Bowman Gray Stadium in the past, the governing body has indicated possible newer tracks to fit into the 2027 calendar.
