The NASCAR Cup Series is set to arrive at Charlotte Motor Speedway for its 13th race of the 2026 season. It is the first of two dates in Charlotte, as NASCAR also visits the venue in the Chase. In 2025, Chase Briscoe won the pole for the Coca-Cola 600, marking his second of seven pole positions during the season.
First, the Cup Series needs to qualify for the event in Charlotte, and the qualifying format is simple. Every driver will make a one-lap run, with the overall lap times determining the starting lineup. There will only be one round, and the groups do not matter in setting the starting lineup by the inside or outside rows. The metric system determines the qualifying order.
