A trio of NASCAR Cup Series stars will kick off the 2026 racing season in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson and Ty Gibbs are all slated to open the new year by competing in the 2026 Tulsa Shootout, the premier event in Micro Sprint racing.

Last year, the famed Tulsa Shootout celebrated 40 editions – four decades of history and memories, 40 years of champions, countless truckloads of dirt to transform the SageNet Center at Expo Square in Tulsa, Oklahoma, into a world-renowned dirt track.

The grandstands have been put up, the dirt has been dropped down, and that means the biggest event in micro sprint racing is right around the corner. With the Tulsa Shootout just a couple of short weeks away, it’s time to take another look at the entry list, which is now closing in on the record for entries.
