The second edition of the NASCAR In-Season Challenge is just around the corner, and the bracket has been set following Sunday’s Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway, won by Denny Hamlin.

Points leader Tyler Reddick will enter the In-Season Challenge as the No. 1 seed, with Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott and Ty Gibbs clinching the top five seeds in the bracket.

Alex Bowman and Cole Custer were tied for the 32nd and final spot in the tournament after Pocono, but Bowman earned the tiebreaker based on highest finish in 2026 (third at Talladega).

The In-Season Challenge begins Sunday, June 28 at Sonoma Raceway (12:30 p.m. PT, TNT Sports, HBO Max, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) with the tournament making stops at Chicagoland Speedway, EchoPark Speedway, North Wilkesboro Speedway and the championship round hosted at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 26.
