iRacing Studios has unveiled the complete track roster for NASCAR 26, confirming a slate that blends legacy venues with three brand‑new circuits.
New Frontiers on the Circuit
The title will host the four core NASCAR series — the Cup, O’Reilly, Craftsman Trucks, and ARCA — each paired with a dedicated track, ensuring that competitors can only race their designated series on the circuit built for them.
Among the additions are the high‑speed oval at Chicagoland, the street‑level challenge of St. Petersburg’s waterfront layout, and the Naval Base Coronado course in San Diego, a venue that brings a military‑base ambience to the competition.
The roster also sees a handful of removals, with the Charlotte Roval and the Chicago Street Circuit among the tracks that will not return, a decision that reflects the developers’ aim to streamline the experience.
Set for release in two months, NASCAR 26 promises players the chance to explore every circuit, test each series, and feel the distinct handling characteristics that each track offers.
By tying specific series to particular venues, the game introduces a fresh layer of strategy, compelling drivers to adapt their setups and tactics to the unique demands of each circuit.
