Justin Allgaier claims second O'Reilly Series title as Brandon Jones wins Homestead finale

HOMESTEAD, Fla. – Joe Gibbs Racing’s Brandon Jones took the lead with 14 laps remaining and pulled away to a nearly four-second victory in Saturday night’s NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Championship Race at Homestead-Miami Speedway – impressively delivering Toyota its 700th win in NASCAR competition.

 

Just behind all the admirable work out front, JR Motorsports Justin Allgaier claimed his own hardware – his seventh-place finish in the No. 7 JRM Chevrolet good enough to earn the 2026 series championship trophy; his second title in the last three years which makes him the first driver in the storied JRM history to claim multiple championships.

 

Five drivers came into the night mathematically eligible to decide the title and Allgaier’s four closest contenders certainly kept him honest. All but one of those drivers (Hendrick Motorsports’ Corey Day) led laps. Haas Factory Team’s Sheldon Creed led a race best 99 of the 200 laps, the most laps he’s ever been in front in a single race.

 

But the 40-year-old Allgaier did exactly what he needed to, if not pacing the field at least keeping the leaders in sight. A career best six-win season and just enough of a points advantage at the drop of the green flag kept him tops at the wave of the checkered flag too.

 

“Means more than you'll ever know," Allgaier said. “It's obviously not the finish we wanted tonight. Wanted to be in Victory Lane. But this team never quits.”

 

Not only did the championship contenders deliver a suspenseful action-packed night at the 1.5-mile South Florida track, but the 29-year-old Jones – also a Chase driver - reminded that he expects to be part of that title mix going forward too. The win – by 3.937-seconds over JR Motorsports’ Carson Kvapil - marked his second of the year (also at Chicago) and ninth of his career putting the driver of the No. 20 JGR Toyota eighth in the championship points standings.

 

“There were so many cool positives to come out of today, first of all knocking Toyota’s 700th win out of the park, and it’s so cool to be a part of these big moments for this company," Jones said.

 

“I would say we weren’t really the best car to begin this race," he continued. “We were capable of running inside the top-five and top-10 and we consistently made better gains on the car all night long. Our long run pace was really our strong suit tonight, but this track can produce these long runs like we saw tonight. … luckily it played out for us tonight.

 

“Just an incredible way to cap the year off." Jones said. “Looking forward to having a couple months off, couldn’t ask for a better way to end the year."

 

JGR’s Brent Crews, 19, finished third with championship contender, Richard Childress Racing’s Jesse Love finishing fourth and Viking Motorsports’ Parker Retzlaff rounding out the top-five.

 

Despite his massive time out front of the field, Creed finished sixth, followed by Allgaier, Austin Hill, Sam Mayer and William Sawalich.

 

“There's a thousand different things that could have gone differently to gain us those 15 points," the RCR driver and reigning series champ Love said of the margin he trailed Allgaier coming into the race. “I feel that at the end of the day obviously it stings, right? It's a painful thing to go through, losing and it being close.

 

“I was obviously upset getting out of the car. When I get to be around our group of guys on the 2 car, a lot more happiness and gratefulness kind of overwhelms me than the sting of the loss," added Love, who ultimately came 14 points shy of becoming a back-to-back champ before moving to the Wood Brothers Racing team next year to campaign in the NASCAR Cup Series.

 

“This closes out a big chapter in my life over the last three years that I'm going to miss tremendously, but I'll always be grateful for it.”

 

Allgaier was similarly emotional. He claimed his first title only two seasons ago, but conceded this one gives off decidedly different vibes. At 40 years old, he is the second oldest series champion since Tommy Ellis hoisted the big trophy as a 41-year-old back in 1988. And the Illinois-native and hugely popular personality in the garage had openly discussed retiring from fulltime competition as recently as this pre-season.

 

Instead, he stayed on the grid with his beloved parents, wife and two daughters trackside to witness Saturday’s cherished title victory.

 

“The first one was for me and the first one I really enjoyed," Allgaier said of the 2024 championship. “But this one is for all these men and women standing back here. They have worked their tail off.

 

“These two, my wife, my parents, everybody you mentioned, it means so much. … Congrats to all the guys in the Chase this year. It was super fun. Really proud of our whole team. Everybody knows [longtime sponsor] Brandt and our culture at Chevrolet. Andrew Overstreet, first championship as a crew chief. That's really cool for him.”

 

Allgaier’s NASCAR Hall of Fame team co-owner, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was understandably proud. Not only did Allgaier take the title, but his 23-year-old teammate Kvapil finished third in the championship, 28 points behind. Creed was fourth in the standings, 33 points back and the 20-year-old Day, who crashed only seven laps into the race, was an impressive fifth claiming four wins in his first full season.

 

Chevrolet earned the series' manufacturer's title.

 

“Obviously we’re thrilled with the way this season went, [crew chief Andrew] Overstreet did a great job, the pit crew did a great job, Hendrick engines did an awesome job," a smiling Earnhardt Jr. said. “Been a really strong season for all of our cars and looking forward to next season, let’s go win some more. But we’re going to celebrate this one.

 

“This is a special night."

Carson Kvapil delivers clutch performance at Martinsville to keep championship hopes alive

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Carson Kvapil book-ended Saturday’s Halloween evening at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, leading early and leading late to claim his third NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series victory of the season – and of his career – in the National Debt Relief 250.
It was clutch performance for the 23-year-old North Carolinian who won the pole position and led the most laps on the day – 121 of 250 – in the No. 1 JR Motorsports Chevrolet to keep himself very much in the championship conversation heading to Homestead-Miami Speedway next week for the season finale.
Ultimately, Kvapil had to hold off his JRM teammate, Justin Allgaier, for the win taking the trophy by .434-second over Allgaier, who leaves Virginia the new championship leader by 22 points over Richard Childress Racing’s Jesse Love.
Hendrick Motorsports rookie Corey Day was third joining those three drivers atop the standings and positioning themselves for a thrilling season finale to decide the title.
Allgaier leads Love by 22 points with Day 23 points back and Kvapil now 31 points out. Haas Factory Team driver Sheldon Creed finished sixth at Martinsville – good enough to keep him in the championship mix. He’s ranked fifth, 42 points behind Allgaier.
“It’s awesome, I knew in practice we had a very fast Chevrolet,’’’ said Kvapil, who earned his, and crew chief Rodney Childers, first Martinsville win. “Able to qualify on pole but just kinda had a rough race between the end of stage one and the end of the race there, just kept getting shuffled back.
“But it just really worked out. Just super excited. Winning is always great but finally getting one at a track I feel like I’m good at is really cool.’’
The series’ championship leader coming into the race, Richard Childress Racing’s Love had endured a tough night all night. Caught on pit road immediately behind an incident cost him positions mid-race, then a tire rub forced him to limp and persevere through Stage 2, where he finished 22nd and was really forced to play catch-up. Finally, his car suffered brake trouble with 30 laps to go crashing and bringing out the race’s 12th and final caution. He finished 30th, dropping him from the lead into second place in the championship.
“Nothing really to process, I feel like I’ve got a good idea of where it started to unravel and what did us in and all the bad stuff and good stuff that happened in between along the way,’’ the reigning NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series champion Love said.
“I’m not really going to study too much about today, it really doesn’t matter. We have obviously one goal and probably for the most part only one avenue, one way to achieve that goal and it brings me a lot of clarity.
“It means unless the [number] seven (Allgaier) has a DNF at Homestead, we’ve got to go and win the race. Obviously, that’s where we do our best work in moments like that.’’
Allgaier, whose 52 laps led Saturday were second only to his teammate Kvapil, is the defending race winner at the 1.5-mile Homestead-Miami Speedway where the series goes next weekend to settle the championship.
“I think that last set of tires we had to push really hard to get through the field and those cautions didn’t help us out,’’ said Allgaier noting the six cautions and a nearly 12-minute-long red flag in the final 105-lap run.
As for next week, he smiled and said, “I love the fact we have five [cars] going into Homestead with a shot to be champion. It’s going to make for a great battle. I feel like our team does a really great job. We won there last year. We know how to get around the race track and we know we’ll have speed, we just have to execute.
“If we do all the things we’ve been doing and execute the way we know we can we keep the points lead.’’
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Brandon Jones finished fourth followed by Haas Factory teammates Sam Mayer and Creed. JR Motorsports’ Sammy Smith was seventh with Joe Gibbs Racing’s William Sawalich, Brent Crews and Taylor Gray rounding out the top-10.
The series heads south to Homestead-Miami Speedway next Saturday for the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Championship Race (5 p.m. ET, The CW, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

In a crazy, weird season, Carson Kvapil came close to the title

 

November 7, 2026

 

By Reid Spencer

NASCAR Wire Service

 

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — The moment he crossed the finish line in second place, Carson Kvapil posed a question to crew chief Rodney Childers.

 

“I need to know, if we had won that, would we have won the championship?” Kvapil asked.

 

Kvapil was tantalizingly close to both the race win and the title, but a victory in Saturday’s NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Championship Race still would have left him a few points short of the championship.

 

Instead, the race win went to Brandon Jones, and the O’Reilly Series title went to Kvapil’s JR Motorsports teammate Justin Allgaier, who secured the second championship of a storied career with a seventh-place finish.

 

Kvapil crossed the finish line 3.937 seconds behind Jones, and the runner-up finish left him third in the final Chase standings, 28 points behind Allgaier and 14 points back of second-place Jesse Love, who ran fourth as defending series champion on Saturday.

 

What Kvapil accomplished in 2026 nevertheless was remarkable. Splitting time between three different cars, with two different car owners (JR Motorsports and Mario Gosselin) and three different crew chiefs (Childers, Gosselin and Phillip Bell), Kvapil made a serious bid for his first title.

 

It wasn’t until the 21st race of the season that Kvapil was paired with Childers in the No. 1 JRM Chevrolet for the duration of the campaign.

 

Kvapil responded with consecutive victories at Indianapolis and Iowa in the regular season and a win at Martinsville in the Chase. He ran second at Talladega a week earlier after giving up the lead on the final lap.

 

“It's tough,” said Kvapil, the son of 2003 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series champion Travis Kvapil. “Like you said, jumping around from the 9, the 1, the 91, 11 weeks in a row being in a different car. It makes it hard.

 

“I was able to learn honestly quite a bit throughout the year, get a lot of experience. I kind of only had one crew chief this whole time I've done this NASCAR thing. To have three different teams, some crazy, weird circumstances going on, I was able to learn from it.”

 

Nevertheless, Kvapil could recite a laundry list of circumstances that left him short of the championship.

 

“Came into the Chase second, gained points on the 7 (Allgaier) in the first half,” said the 23-year-old from Mooresville, North Carolina. “Never really had any stellar runs of winning races in the Chase until Martinsville.

 

“Just had a lot of days where we were leading Bristol and we lose a right rear wheel, lose a truck arm at Charlotte. A lot of points left on the table. That's not even counting the one or two times we finished second over who won the race.”

 

Next year, Kvapil will return to JR Motorsports full-time in the No. 8 Chevrolet with Childers as his crew chief.

 

“Overall, it was a really fun year,” Kvapil said. “When we teamed up with Rodney and the whole No. 1 team, it was game-on from there. We finished second in our first two races, won the third and fourth.

 

“It's been a good year. I'm excited to get to next year with these guys. Being full-time, every week together from week one, is going to be really big for us… Can’t wait to kick it back off at Daytona.”
