After back-to-back superspeedway races at Daytona International Speedway and EchoPark Speedway (formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway) to start the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, the series is set to visit the first of four non-ovals on this year's schedule.

Circuit of the Americas is one of three remaining road courses on the schedule, and it is the newest of those three, having been added to the calendar in 2021.

23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick, the winner of the track's 2023 race, is the points leader, after becoming the first driver since Matt Kenseth in 2009 to win the season's first two races.

Here are the top 10 in the Cup Series point standings heading into Sunday's 95-lap race around the 17-turn, 2.4-mile (3.862-kilometer) Austin, Texas road course.
