Entry List Revealed for the 2026 MillerTech Battery 250
NASCAR’s premier Cup Series has officially published the complete entry list for the upcoming 2026 MillerTech Battery 250 at Pocono Raceway. The race, scheduled for Saturday afternoon, marks the only event of the year on the track’s celebrated three‑corner layout, a configuration that has long distinguished Pocono from other venues.
With 38 drivers confirmed, the field promises a competitive mix of seasoned veterans and emerging talent. The entry list underscores the series’ continued emphasis on road‑course and short‑track specialists, while also highlighting the strategic importance of Pocono’s unique racing dynamics.
Among the highlighted competitors are Connor Zilisch, who will drive for JR Motorsports, and William Byron, representing Hendrick Motorsports. Both drivers are expected to bring strong performances given their recent form and the technical demands of Pocono’s corners.
Nick Sanchez is slated to take the wheel of the No. 87 car for Peterson Racing Group, adding another layer of intrigue to the lineup. His participation reflects the team’s growing presence in the Cup Series and contributes to the diverse driver roster for the event.
The race will be part of a broader weekend schedule that includes an off‑weekend for the NASCAR Truck Series following Michigan International Speedway. This timing allows teams and fans to focus on the unique challenges presented by Pocono’s elevation changes and tight turns.
The confirmed participants are associated with several key organizations that will be instrumental in the event’s execution. JR Motorsports, Hendrick Motorsports and Peterson Racing Group each bring distinct histories and resources to the competition, as reflected in their official websites.
