Yes, NASCAR 26 has a full driver roster — 255 drivers spread across four divisions (Cup, O'Reilly Auto Parts, Craftsman Truck, and ARCA Menards Series), per The Daily Downforce's roster count. This page is a short pointer to the more detailed breakdowns elsewhere in this guide section.
The Short Answer
Steam's own listing only confirms that NASCAR 26 covers "all four NASCAR National Series" without publishing a driver-by-driver list, which is why earlier coverage of this game treated the full roster as unconfirmed. Independent reporting has since filled that gap: 255 total driver entries, broken out by series, with the Truck Series carrying the most (81) and the Cup Series the fewest (49) of the four.
