NASCAR O’Reilly Series 2026 Championship Chase Field Set After Points Reset

Justin Allgaier’s once-massive 229-point advantage has been reset to a 25-point buffer as the Chase field is finalized for the final nine races of the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season.

Led by Allgaier, all four full-time JR Motorsports drivers secured Chase positions. Rajah Caruth and Taylor Gray earned the final two spots, while Joe Gibbs Racing teammates William Sawalich and Brent Crews fell short by five and six points, respectively.

Parker Retzlaff emerged as a genuine underdog, comfortably clinching a Chase spot with the Viking Motorsports team.
