The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series is winding down its regular season, with just ten races left to shape the playoff picture. The next event, the Charbroil 300, is set for May 23 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a venue that has already felt the impact of unpredictable weather.
Practice sessions and qualifying attempts have been repeatedly interrupted, and meteorologists are predicting rain for much of the day, a factor that could dramatically alter strategies and outcomes.
Beyond the competition, the series is grappling with the recent loss of Kyle Busch, a driver whose 102 career victories in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series set a benchmark. Tributes have flooded social media, and his absence is felt deeply in the garage and among fans.
Pole Position and a Competitive Top‑Ten
When the green flag drops, Justin Allgaier will start from pole, but he will be joined in the top ten by a mix of rising talents and seasoned veterans. Names such as Corey Day, Sam Mayer, Brandon Jones, Connor Zilisch, Austin Hill, William Sawalich, Sammy Smith, Ryan Sieg and Rajah Caruth round out a field that promises on‑track battles.
The race will be carried live on the CW Network, with a radio simulcast from the Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, ensuring that viewers and listeners across the country can follow every lap. Streaming options include FUBO, giving fans additional ways to tune in.
