Not everything has been confirmed as far as the 2019 NASCAR Cup Series driver lineup goes, but several confirmations have been made. Here is what we know so far.

With 29 races of the 36-race 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season in the books and just seven races remaining before the champion is crowned at Homestead-Miami Speedway in mid-November, silly season is in full swing and driver movement among teams ahead of next season has not yet even begun to slow down.

But even with so much still not yet known about which drivers will be driving for which teams in the 2019 season, there is a lot that has been confirmed for next year as far as the driver lineup goes. In fact, more has been confirmed than is believed to be yet to be confirmed.

Here is what we know about the 2019 driver lineup heading into the penultimate month of the 2018 season.
