NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series

The NASCAR season is now fully underway, as the drivers prepare for short track racing. With 33 races scheduled for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series this season, there are sure to be plenty twists and turns over the coming months as drivers move up and down the standings following each race.

Justin Allgaier currently leads the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series standings with two wins already on his resume, including last week at Darlington. Jesse Love remains in second place, with Carson Kvapil making a move up the board to third. Sheldon Creed remain in fourth.

No longer looking to make a playoff bracket down the final stretch of the season with cut races, NASCAR has adopted the Chase system for this season. In the Craftsman Truck Series, that means 12 drivers battling from Race 25 on for the championship.
