NASCAR has officially revealed the preliminary entry list for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the fifth race of the 2026 season. This week’s entry list isn’t much of a surprise, as the 36 Chartered entries will not be joined by any “Open” teams this weekend at Sin City.
Last week winner of the race at Phoenix Raceway, Ryan Blaneywill return behind the wheel of the No. 12 Dark Horse Ford Mustang for Team Penske, and the driver will have primary sponsorship from Menards/Pennzoil this weekend.

Other notable driver/sponsor pairs for this weekend’s race include Austin Dillon with Breztri, Noah Gragson with Curate, Denny Hamlin with Yahoo!, AJ Allmendinger with U-Save and Joey Logano with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum.
Alex Bowman, who is still awaiting medical clearance to return to driver duties in the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, is currently on the entry list according to Monday’s preliminary entry list.
