NASCAR O'Reilly Series

Connor Zilisch remains undefeated in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series at Watkins Glen International for a third consecutive year.

The 23-year-old Caruth from Washington, D.C., was awarded the pole position for Saturday's event at Watkins Glen International based on a qualifying metric formula and due to rain canceling Saturday's on-track qualifying session.

The Glen shifts to September for the 2027 NASCAR season ahead of this year's on-track festivities in May.

NASCAR travels to Watkins Glen International for a full schedule of racing this weekend.

A $50,000 fine and a 25-point dock for Ryan Preece highlights the penalty report from this past weekend's triple-header weekend of racing at Texas Motor Speedway.

Connor Zilisch made his Texas Motor Speedway debut this weekend by competing in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series on Saturday.

The reigning two-time Cup Series champion from Elk Grove, California, led a race-high 93 of 200 laps and fended off teammate Justin Allgaier through a 17-lap shootout to notch his second O'Reilly victory of 2026 at the Lone Star state.

The 2024 O'Reilly Auto Parts Series champion from Riverton, Illinois, clocked in a pole-winning lap at 188.607 mph in 28.631 seconds for his first pole of the 2026 season.

This weekend, NASCAR travels to Texas Motor Speedway for a full schedule of racing action. All three national series will compete on the 1.5 Mile Asphalt Oval.

Zilisch was originally scheduled to race at Texas Motor Speedway in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race last year, but sat out due to the late-race Talladega crash, which resulted in a back injury.
