​The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Georgia this weekend for the second visit of the season to EchoPark Speedway. Coming off last week’s event at Chicagoland Speedway, drivers now shift focus to one of the sport’s most unpredictable venues. EchoPark Speedway, a 1.54-mile drafting oval that has been recently rebranded, is renowned for its pack racing, multi-car crashes, and dramatic finishes. This layout makes it one of the toughest races to forecast on the schedule, as the racing often resembles a superspeedway battle even though the track length is shorter.
A total of 38 drivers are entered for Sunday’s Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart, ensuring every entry will take the green flag. Here is the complete entry list for the race:

EchoPark Speedway’s position as the 20th points-paying race of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season makes this event pivotal. It also marks the third round of NASCAR’s In-Season Challenge, which features eight head-to-head matchups to determine the semifinalists. Unlike many intermediate ovals, EchoPark Speedway’s high banking and drafting-driven style tends to generate pack racing reminiscent of a superspeedway. This dynamic level the playing field, giving nearly every entrant a credible shot at victory and keeping the outcome highly uncertain until the final laps.
The green flag for the Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart is scheduled to wave at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 12. Viewers can catch the action on TNT Sports as the drivers chase a dramatic result at EchoPark Speedway in the heart of Georgia.
