2026 NASCAR Cup Series

In progress

The Chase standings

The championship order, after round 28 of 36. NASCAR re-seeded the 16-driver field on a fixed ladder at round 27 (2100, 2075, 2065, then −5 a position); they score normally from there. There are no eliminations in 2026 — whoever leads after round 36 is champion. T marks drivers tied on points.
