The entry list for the 2026 Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas just dropped, and man, there’s a gut-wrenching change right at the top. Austin Hill is officially stepping into the No. 33 car for Richard Childress Racing, taking over after the tragic passing of Kyle Busch. It’s a somber but huge moment for the series, with all eyes on Hill this Sunday.
This Is Kansas’ Last Stand
This Hollywood Casino 400 isn’t just another race on the calendar; it’s the final date for Kansas on the 2026 NASCAR schedule. Plus, it’s the fourth race in the Chase, so every position, every pit stop, every move on the track is going to be absolutely critical. The stakes are sky-high, plain and simple.
The Field Is Set: No Room for Error
NASCAR released both the Cup Series and Truck Series entry lists on Monday afternoon, and the Cup field is locked in. We’re talking 36 guaranteed charters for Sunday, with 35 full-time drivers ready to battle it out. There are zero open entries, making it a tight, focused field where every single driver knows what’s on the line. The full entry list is out there, from the No. 1 to the No. 97, setting the stage for what promises to be an intense showdown.
After all the dust settles at Kansas, the NASCAR O’Reilly Series won’t waste any time, heading straight to Las Vegas Motor Speedway next week. Get ready, because the action never stops!
