Brandon Jones won Stage 1 while Ross Chastain won Stage 2; however, neither driver entered victory lane. Instead, it was a Hendrick Motorsports driver who made a late-race pass to tame the Monster Mile.<\/p>\n<p>Corey Day and the No. 17 team for Hendrick Motorsports won the BetRivers 250 at Dover, earning their second victory of the 2026 O&#8217;Reilly Series season. Day passed JR Motorsports driver Justin Allgaier, with under five laps to go, when a lap car affected the No. 7 vehicle. The driver of the No. 17 car took advantage while running the top lane.<\/p>\n<p>Day has been an emerging star in the O&#8217;Reilly Series, and Saturday&#8217;s race at Dover was the perfect example. The Hendrick Motorsports driver is turning into a championship threat with his speed and consistency. Day has significantly developed in 2026, and there are more victories on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>NASCAR results: O&#8217;Reilly Series race at Dover Motor Speedway (May 2026)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">No. 99 Parker Retzlaff\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Motorsports Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/motorsportswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/motor\/nascar\/2026\/05\/18\/corey-day-wins-nascar-oreilly-series-race-dover-may-2026\/90138084007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Corey Day wins NASCAR O&#039;Reilly Series race at Dover in May 2026;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Corey Day wins NASCAR O&#039;&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Corey Day wins NASCAR O&#8217;Reilly Series race at Dover in May 2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NASCAR O&#8217;Reilly Series competed at Dover Motor Speedway, and as usual, it was an amazing event.
