Justin Allgaier captured his sixth NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series victory of the season at EchoPark Speedway, a performance that also secured the 2026 regular‑season championship with three races remaining.
The event unfolded in double overtime, featuring a track‑record 13 caution flags and four red‑flag periods that shuffled the running order repeatedly.
Throughout the 200‑lap contest, 11 different drivers led the field and 19 lead changes occurred, underscoring the race’s unpredictable nature.
Allgaier held off Carson Kvapil by 0.139 seconds to claim the win, while a final‑lap collision between Brennan Poole and Nick Sanchez added further drama.
The points gap now stands at 240 between Allgaier and Jesse Love, a margin that could prove decisive as the championship picture sharpens.
A chaotic finish at EchoPark Speedway
The race’s intensity was amplified by the presence of multiple sponsors and partners, including Chevrolet‑powered entries and support from Bass Pro Shops and Whelen.
Teams such as JR Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing fielded cars, while logistics partners Bennett Transportation and Jarrett Logistics helped move the field across the weekend.
With only three races left, the field will shrink to the 12‑driver playoff, and the next showdown is slated for July 25 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
