NASCAR’s 2026 Season Opener Returns to Pocono Raceway

The MillerTech Battery 250 will air on The CW and stream on FUBO, featuring a stacked entry list and a glimpse at the year’s schedule.

A Summer Showdown at Pocono

The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series kicks off its 2026 campaign on June 13 at the iconic Pocono Raceway, where the MillerTech Battery 250 will be staged under the summer sun.

Fans can catch the action live on The CW Network, with additional streaming options on FUBO and the official NASCAR.com platform, ensuring viewers across the country can tune in.

The event marks the return of several drivers who are slated to compete in double duty this weekend, including William Byron, Connor Zilisch and Cole Custer, who are all listed among the entrants.

A Race of Milestones and Momentum

Justin Allgaier captured his fourth victory of the season in the previous Nashville event, underscoring his strong form heading into Pocono. The track also holds special significance for Zilisch, who last year began a dominant stretch that saw him claim multiple wins.

The competition will consist of 100 laps, totaling 250 miles, divided into three distinct stages — 25 laps, 25 laps and a final 50‑lap sprint — adding a strategic layer to the contest.

Looking Ahead at the 2026 Calendar

Beyond the June 13 showdown, the series’ full 2026 schedule has been released, outlining dates, venues and past winners, giving teams and supporters a clear roadmap for the season’s progression.
