The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season is officially in the books, and 36 points-paying races produced everything from first-time winners to a familiar face lifting the championship trophy.
Tyler Reddick opened the year with three consecutive victories, beginning with the Daytona 500. Denny Hamlin put together another four-win season, while Ryan Blaney closed the year by winning the championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
But the final checkered flag and the championship trophy went to different drivers.
Kyle Larson secured his third Cup Series championship, and his second straight, despite Blaney winning the season finale.
With the offseason underway, here’s a complete look at every NASCAR Cup Series race winner from 2026, beginning with Daytona and ending at Homestead.
