NASCAR O'Reilly Series

"I am really excited about going back to Watkins Glen. We ran there last year and I gained some experience and my No. 23 Allegiant team got some valuable data to build on for this year. I hope we can get the No. 23 up front and come home with a good finish that this team needs and deserves."

With the emergence of NASCAR’s next generation of stars defining the 2017 season, NASCAR today announced new guidelines that will further highlight the young talent battling for championships in the NASCAR XFINITY Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Come next season, there'll be further limits to the number of races Cup drivers may run in the lower tiers.

Despite a spin early in the race, Ross Chastain scored an 18th-place finish in Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250 Xfinity Series event at Iowa Speedway.

In just his second career NASCAR start Ty Majeski qualified ninth and ran the majority of the race inside the top 10 in Saturday’s XFINITY Series race at Iowa Speedway, before getting caught up in a late accident and being forced to settle for a 16th-place finish. The young phenom had driven his Bit-O-Honey Ford Mustang to eighth position and was in solid contention for a top-10 before the No. 19 car spun in front of him causing the accident.

Ryan Reed was having a solid run Saturday afternoon at Iowa Speedway until a vibration developed following a routine mid-race pit stop.  Reed tried to hold out for a caution, but had to pit under green for the loose wheel.  The loose wheel took away a top-10 finish for Reed.  Despite the setback, Reed held on to earn a 21st-place finish in the No. 16 Lilly Diabetes Ford.

Top-10 Run Spoiled by Cut Tire for the RTP / Rheem Chevrolet at Iowa Speedway "This RTP / Rheem Camaro was really, really good on long runs all weekend. We fired off from our 13th-place qualifying effort and made our way into the top-10 by the end of that first stage. Randall (Burnett, crew chief) and the pit crew adjusted on this Chevy and we were able to race into the top-five at the halfway point."

A blown tire ended Garrett Smithley’s race early Saturday. Smithley’s Flex Shot Chevrolet blew a right front tire in turn two, forcing him to the garage on lap 240 of 254. He completed 218 laps and finished 35th.

Harrison Rhodes moved through the field to score a 15th-place finish in Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250 Xfinity Series race at Iowa Speedway. The run was Rhodes’ second-best of the season.
