The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series transitions from the short-track Virginia confines of Martinsville Speedway to the intermediate high lines of Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday (5 p.m. ET, The CW, ESPN Unlimited, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
The O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Championship Race will be the 2026 season finale and the ninth Chase presented by Mobil 1 contest overall. The 200-lap contest will be the season’s 33rd and final points-paying event. Justin Allgaier is the defending Homestead winner, doing so on March 22, 2025.
Following Carson Kvapil’s Martinsville victory, five O’Reilly Chasers mathematically remain in the 2026 championship hunt: Allgaier, Jesse Love (minus-22), Corey Day (minus-23), Kvapil (minus-31) and Sheldon Creed (minus-42). Allgaier and Love are each seeking their second O’Reilly title, with the latter aiming to become the first O’Reilly pilot since Tyler Reddick to capture back-to-back title triumphs (2018-2019). The remaining three drivers are looking to capture their first championship crown.
Thirty-eight race cars are entered into Saturday’s event.
