The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season is almost here, and the road to Daytona is officially underway. After a 2025 season filled with close finishes, surprise runs, and unforgettable moments, a new year brings fresh storylines and renewed expectations across the garage.

Over the next several days, I will be rolling out season preview columns for every NASCAR Cup Series team. Each preview will take a closer look at where teams stand heading into 2026, what they showed last season, and what to watch as the green flag drops on a new championship chase.

To get everyone ready in time for Speedweeks, two team previews will be released each day, giving fans a complete look at the field before engines fire at Daytona International Speedway. The previews will follow this order:

Kaulig Racing
Rick Ware Racing

Spire Motorsports
Legacy Motor Club
Front Row Motorsports
Richard Childress Racing
Hyak Motorsports
Trackhouse Racing
23XI Racing
RFK Racing

From teams still building their foundation to the sport’s biggest powerhouses, every organization will get its moment in the spotlight. The countdown to Daytona has begun, and this series is your guide to everything that lies ahead in the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season.
