The full 36-driver lineup for the 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway has been confirmed, ensuring no entries will be left out for the Focused Health 302 on Saturday night. NASCAR released the official entry list on Monday, ahead of the South Point 400 and the O'Reilly Series event, which is the final Las Vegas date on the 2026 schedule and the fifth race in the Chase.
Among the drivers set to take the green flag are Matt DiBenedetto representing Young's Motorsports and Andrew Patterson for Jordan Anderson Racing. Lee Pulliam will also be behind the wheel of the No. 87 car for Peterson Racing Group. The full roster includes a mix of seasoned competitors and rising talents, reflecting the competitive field NASCAR expects in this pivotal late-season race.
The entry list spans a wide range of drivers, starting with Garrett Smithley in the No. 0 and Sheldon Creed in the No. 00. Carson Kvapil will pilot the No. 1, while Ryan Ellis is entered in the No. 02. Jesse Love will race the No. 2 car, and Josh Bilicki is listed at No. 07. Justin Allgaier, a regular contender, carries the No. 7, joined by Sammy Smith in the No. 8 and Corey Day in the No. 17. William Sawalich is entered in the No. 18, with Brent Crews at No. 19.

This race will be a critical chapter in the 2026 Chase, as drivers look to secure points and positioning for the closing stages of the season. The South Point 400 and the O'Reilly Series event at Las Vegas mark the last time the Cup and O'Reilly Series cars compete at this track in 2026.
Meanwhile, the NASCAR Truck Series is set to return next week at Charlotte Motor Speedway, continuing the busy fall schedule for the series.
The complete entry list confirms a strong turnout, with every driver expected to take part in the Focused Health 302. Fans and teams alike will be watching closely as the Chase progresses through this decisive phase.
