The NASCAR Cup Series has unveiled the entry list for the 2026 MillerTech Battery 250, scheduled for June at Pocono Raceway, marking the only NASCAR event at the Pennsylvania track that year.
Entry List Highlights
Among the 38 drivers announced, rising star Connor Zilisch will compete for JR Motorsports, while William Byron, a staple of Hendrick Motorsports, is also confirmed. Nick Sanchez is set to pilot the No. 87 entry for Peterson Racing Group.
The lineup reflects a mix of experience and fresh faces, with teams such as JR Motorsports, Hendrick Motorsports and Peterson Racing Group each bringing distinct histories and technical resources to the competition.
Pocono’s unique three‑corner layout continues to challenge drivers, and the June date places the race in a prime summer slot that traditionally draws large crowds and significant sponsorship exposure.
Series officials noted that the Truck Series will enjoy an off‑weekend following Michigan International Speedway, allowing teams to focus on the upcoming Pocono weekend. The release of the 2026 Great American Getaway 400 and O'Reilly Series entry list underscores the growing breadth of NASCAR’s national schedule.
