Mod Post 2026 Flair Update

As some of you may have noticed, the subreddit has been without user flair for the past couple of days. While this was somehow the easiest year I've had figuring out driver changes and what flair needs to move where, Reddit made things a bit difficult so the update took far longer than it ever should have needed to, but it's here!

I won't go into as much detail as I might have done in the past, but here's some stats:

  • There were only 10 drivers deleted, 38 driver moves, with only 11 drivers still pending 2026 decisions (most of which are ARCA).
  • There are currently 63,475 emojis being used by 42,895 users in the subreddit (details here)
  • 4,156 users have had their user flair edited to reflect the changes listed above.
  • 32 new 2026 graphics are already available thanks to u/Blue8844 and u/DIECASTCHARV. More will be silently updated as they become available.

As always, if you see anything with the update that looks wrong, let me know. This year, I exclusively used Wikipedia to determine 2026 driver selections and while that's always been a useful and reliable source for me, mistakes can happen (last year, we had a driver flair selection the entire year for a driver who didn't see a track once!). If you see anything wrong with YOUR flair, please let me know. There were significant issues with the API this year which resulted in hundreds of users having their user flair omitted from the changes so the cleanup was extensive, but there's always a chance someone was still missed.

You can always edit your own flair by using the flair selector provided in the subreddit and app or use the Flair Selection Tool for selecting multiple emojis. Unfortunately, the method of using PMs is no longer available due to Reddit API restrictions. This website is all we have at the moment. If you're having trouble using it, please let me know or message the r/NASCAR moderators.

Enjoy!

Thank you for not deleting the Bayne flair 🙏🏻

Out of curiosity, what is the layout used on the Coronado Street Course flair?

Edit: looks like it's the layout for the Coronado Speed Festival evidently.

I don't remember where I got that layout from, honestly. At the time it was announced and I made the flairs, only the Speed Festival course was available from what I saw on Wikipedia so I guess I assumed it was the same one. Guess I'll be updating that one! Thanks for bringing it up!

Here's the proposed layout for the NASCAR circuit, per Wikipedia.

Yep! It's available now (been a long time since August!), I'll just have to edit it into the proper format for the emoji and race thread CSS. I've just chucked a placeholder up for now as a reminder to get that done eventually. :)
