Strong Performance by Austin Dillon and the No. 3 Get Bioethanol Chevrolet Team at Iowa Speedway Culminates with Top-10 Finish
Finish: 10th Start: 7th Points: 27th
“I’m proud of the entire No. 3 Get Bioethanol Chevrolet team today at Iowa Speedway. We ran inside the Top-five almost all of Stage 1, and were a consistent force up front all race. We built loose, but the team was making the needed adjustments to improve that. We finished the day 10th, and probably could have finished a couple spots higher if we wouldn’t have made a mistake mid-race. I’m ready to carry this momentum into Richmond Raceway next weekend.” -Austin Dillon
Austin Hill and the No. 33 Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Chevrolet Team Earn 26th-Place Finish at Iowa Speedway
Finish: 26th Start: 24th Points: 30th
“That was a long one for our Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Chevrolet team. We were really loose on initial fire off, but once we got into a rhythm, the balance was a little loose on entry, tight in the center and then loose on exit. Being tight in the center stayed with us for the majority of the day, no matter what adjustments we made. We fought to stay on the lead lap and did so until the green flag pit cycle in Stage 3. Proud of the guys for working hard.” -Austin Hill

Four Chevrolet Organizations Earn Top-10 Finishes at Iowa Speedway
RACE RECAP:
Stage One:
Under the hot summer sun at Iowa Speedway, an early qualifying run turned into a front-row qualifying effort for Kyle Larson and the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet team. Taking the green flag for the opening stage, Larson settled into the second position behind polesitter, Ryan Blaney, and it took just 26 laps around the 7/8-mile track to clock in the fastest lap of the race. Despite a quick caution just a few laps in, a long green flag run ensued to ultimately bring the stage to a close. While then race leader, Blaney, progressively pulled away from the field, Larson was able to maintain a position within the top-three for the entirety of the run. Past Iowa Truck Series winner, Austin Dillon, put his short track abilities on full display from the start to complete the Team Chevy top-five at the drop of the first green-white checkered flag.
Stage Two:
Courtesy of a clutch two position gain in the race off pit road during the stage break, Ross Chastain made his first appearance in the top-five of the race to take the green flag for Stage Two. Buried deep in the field to start the run, a pair of early cautions saw Alan Gustafson become one of just two crew chiefs to gamble on pit strategy and make the call to stay out under the second caution period of the stage. Despite the older set of tires, track position paid great dividends with Elliott becoming a steady fixture in the top-three until the run concluded with a caution just at the halfway point of the stage. Among much of the lead pack that hit pit road for four tires and fuel, trouble on the stop ultimately ended the strong progression from the strategy call for the No. 9 team. Similar to the start of the stage, it was the McSwain-led team that saw a two-tire call put Chastain back into the top-five. In the final 15 laps of the stage, Chastain was the only mover within the top-five – driving up into the third position and just 1.7 seconds from the leader to take the second green-white checkered flag.
Final Stage:
With yet another alternate strategy call for track position by Gustafson, it was Elliott that made the jump back to the top of the leaderboard to pace the field to the green flag for the final stage. But it was the fresh set of Goodyear tires that saw Chastain quickly return as Chevrolet’s top running driver as he sat in the fourth position when the race hit 100 laps to go. Blaney kickstarted what was setting up for the final trip to pit road for the afternoon with 66 laps remaining. With varying calls among the leaders, Chastain ultimately cycled up into the top position to take control of the race just a few laps later. McSwain stayed committed to his call to stretch the run as Chastain continued to set the pace before calling his driver to pit road with 20 laps to go for right-side tires and a splash of fuel. With the green flag cycle now officially complete, Chastain still maintained a position at the front of the Bowtie brigade as he reentered the field in seventh, going on to hold the position en route to the checkered flag.

Post-Race Driver Quotes:
Ross Chastain, No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet
Finished: 7th
“It was an incredible weekend for this No. 1 Busch Light Farming Chevrolet team. It was just a complete weekend from the very first lap. We made very small changes all weekend. We just made a few air pressure adjustments, a couple tenths here and a couple tenths there throughout the race, and really, we could have left it alone. To run in the top-five and take a shot at those guys, I love that Brandon McSwain (crew chief) swung for that. A seventh-place finish still feels really good. I don’t care about points unless the speed comes with it, and today was the speed we are looking for.”
Austin Dillon, No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet
Finished: 10th
“I’m proud of the entire No. 3 Get Bioethanol Chevrolet team today at Iowa Speedway. We ran inside the Top-five almost all of Stage 1, and were a consistent force up front all race. We built loose, but the team was making the needed adjustments to improve that. We finished the day 10th, and probably could have finished a couple spots higher if we wouldn’t have made a mistake mid-race. I’m ready to carry this momentum into Richmond Raceway next weekend.”
AJ Allmendinger, No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet
Finished: 8th
“Overall, I felt like it was a good day for this No. 16 Camper Inn RV Chevrolet team. We weren’t very good in practice, so Trent (Owens, crew chief) and the team made really good adjustments. Our pit crew did a really good job, especially on that last pit stop to get me near the front. I felt like we made our car better throughout the race. We were pretty decent on the long runs. I would fade a little bit, but overall, we had good speed. I felt like we executed as good as we could and got everything we could out of it.”
Austin Hill, No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet
Finished: 26th
“That was a long one for our Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Chevrolet team. We were really loose on initial fire off, but once we got into a rhythm, the balance was a little loose on entry, tight in the center and then loose on exit. Being tight in the center stayed with us for the majority of the day, no matter what adjustments we made. We fought to stay on the lead lap and did so until the green flag pit cycle in Stage 3. Proud of the guys for working hard.”
“It definitely feels good to come back from the off weekend and have a solid day with this No. 88 Roto-Rooter Chevrolet team. We got points in both stages and just missed a top-10 with an 11th-place finish. I’m proud of this entire team for keeping their heads down. Our pit crew did a great job. This should help us for qualifying at Richmond (Raceway) next weekend and hopefully we can go have a good run there.”

PORTLAND, Ore. (Sunday, Aug. 9, 2026) – For the first time since March, Alessandro de Tullio sealed the deal.
De Tullio led all 35 laps from the pole to win the INDY NXT by Firestone Grand Prix of Portland on Sunday in the No. 14 AJ Foyt Racing entry. It was the rookie’s second victory of the season, as he also won in late March from the pole at Barber Motorsports Park.
The victory provided sweet relief for the INDYCAR development series rookie, who has shown tremendous pace in qualifying with eight pole positions this season – one shy of the series record – but had just the Barber win to show for it before today. De Tullio also crossed the finish line first from pole in June at Road America, but he and teammate Nicholas Monteiro were disqualified after post-race technical inspection discovered a sporting infraction.
“It wasn’t easy,” de Tullio said. “I had to take care of the tires. There was quite a bit of (wear) toward the end. Good race. The car was great. I can’t thank the full team enough.
“Super happy to get this one, and hopefully it sticks.”
De Tullio took the checkered flag 2.1885 seconds ahead of series veteran Lochie Hughes in the No. 26 Andretti Global car. Hughes’ teammate Max Taylor completed the podium finishers in the No. 28 Susan G. Komen entry.
Rookie Tymek Kucharczyk finished fourth in the No. 71 HMD Motorsports car, while Jacob Abel rounded out the top five in the No. 48 Abel Motorsports entry in his first series start since 2024.
The tense race for the series championship and NTT INDYCAR SERIES career enhancement package awarded to the title winner tightened even further with just three races remaining this season. Enzo Fittipaldi took over the series lead by one point with his seventh-place finish in the No. 67 HMD Motorsports car, taking the top spot from Nikita Johnson, who entered this event with a one-point margin over Fittipaldi.
Johnson finished eighth in the No. 21 Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR machine. Meanwhile, Kucharczyk drew even closer to the top two with his 11th top-five finish in 14 starts this season, as he remained third, just 18 points behind leader Fittipaldi and 17 behind Johnson.
“Tough weekend,” said Fittipaldi, who started 12th. “I don’t understand why we struggled so much this weekend. We have an idea, but it’s strange. We were looking forward to this race weekend; I thought we were going to be really strong. For some reason, we were struggling a lot.”
De Tullio left no doubt about his speed at the start, as he got a good jump at the green flag and built a small gap entering the notorious chicane in Turns 1 and 2 of the 12-turn, 1.964-mile road course. He parried a strong move by Hughes in the chicane complex and started to pull away.
“It was tough because we have to start early here as a rule, so they (rivals) get a good draft,” de Tullio said. “Lochie, obviously, is a driver with a lot of experience, and he knows how to race. So, it was difficult to hold him off there in Turn 1. We just had to go elbows out, and we kept it clean – that was most important.”
The only other drama happened when rookie Carson Etter spawned the only caution period of the race, on Lap 3. Etter spun exiting Turn 12 and nosed into the pit wall in the No. 11 Chip Ganassi Racing entry.
De Tullio rocketed from the field again on the restart on Lap 5 and never trailed. His gap to Hughes grew to nearly three seconds with 10 laps to go, as de Tullio was able to easily lap the No. 15 Cusick Morgan Motorsports machine of rookie Nicholas Stati, a task that was harder for his closest pursuers Hughes, Taylor and Kucharczyk.
Once that chasing trio cleared Stati, they set sail for de Tullio and sliced nearly a second from his lead. But there weren’t enough laps to trim that gap any further.
The next INDY NXT by Firestone race is Sunday, Aug. 30 at the Milwaukee Mile, the last oval race of the season. The 2026 season concludes with a doubleheader Sept. 5-6 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California.
Mason Massey (No. 19 Brunt Chevrolet) scored an improbable victory in Saturday’s ARCA Menards Series West Portland 112 at Portland International Raceway. Massey took the white flag in fourth position but moved to second when the top two, leader Sam Corry (No. 25 Valvetronic Designs Toyota) and Ethan Tovo (No. 70 Nitro Motorsports Toyota) made contact into turn five and momentarily slipped off the track into the grass, and then he slipped past then-leader Kyle Steckly (No. 53 Auto Parts Centres Chevrolet) in the final corner when Steckly dipped his left side tires off into the grass.
It was Massey’s second ARCA Menards West victory of the season, along with his win in the season opener at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway, and the 102nd all-time for Bill McAnally Racing.
Steckly, in his ARCA Menards West debut, held on to finish second just 0.423 seconds behind Massey.
Hailie Deegan (No. 16 Columbia Bank Chevrolet) took advantage of a chaotic final three laps to notch her first top-five finish of the season and first since she finished fourth in the 2019 season finale at Phoenix Raceway.
Tovo scored the Sioux Chief PowerPEX Pole Award with a lap of 75.974 seconds / 93.206 miles per hour but took the green flag from the tail of the field for an unapproved adjustment in impound after qualifying. He made quick work of the field and was in the top ten inside of the first dozen laps. Despite the late-race contact, he finished in fourth.
Eric Johnson, Jr. (No. 5 Pacific Office Automation / Sherwin-Williams Toyota) finished fifth, his third top-five finish of the season and second consecutive top-five on a road course; he finished third at Sonoma Raceway in June.
Jeff Anton (No. 44 Deerpark Recycling / Squid Decals Chevrolet) finished sixth, which combined with an eighth-place finish at Sonoma and a tenth-place finish in the ARCA Menards Series race at Lime Rock Park give him three consecutive ARCA Menards Series platform road course top-ten finishes.
Robbie Kennealy (No. 1 Jan’s Towing Ford) recovered from a turn one, lap one spin and being a lap down to finish seventh. His teammate Cole Denton (No. 71 Jan’s Towing Ford) was involved in a late-race incident and dropped from the top five to 16th at the finish.
Trevor Huddleston (No. 50 High Point Racing / Racecar Factory Ford) finished 13th, his first finish outside of the top ten in 2026.
Kyle Keller (No. 4 Battle Born / Keller Racing Engines Toyota) had just passed for second position when mechanical issues struck, leaving him 23rd at the finish.
Corry dropped to 15th at the finish when he was forced off the track in the final corner of the final lap.
Four different drivers – Massey, Steckly, Tovo, and Corry – held the lead at one point on the final lap.
Sixteen drivers finished on the lead lap, including Bobby Hillis, Jr. (No. 27 First Impression Press Chevrolet), who earned just the fourth lead lap finish in a career that spans 105 previous starts dating back to 2001.
Massey’s winning average speed was 67.037 miles per hour; the time of race was 1 hour, 40 minutes, 21 seconds.
There were 6 cautions for a total of 16 laps.

18-Year-Old Racer Navigates Live Pit Stops and Green-White-Checkered at Iowa
Date: Aug. 8, 2026 Event: HyVee Perks 250 Series: NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Location: Iowa Speedway in Newton (.875-mile oval) Length: 250 laps, broken into three stages (60 laps/60 laps/130 laps) Start/Finish: 20th/15th (Running, completed 260 of 260 laps) Note: Race extended 10 laps past its scheduled 250-lap distance due to a green-white-checkered finish.
Overview:
Carson Brown finished 15th in his NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series debut Saturday at Iowa Speedway in Newton. It was a respectable result for the 18-year-old from New London, North Carolina, as Brown competed in a deep 37-car field and experienced a first – live pit stops – before delivering a scrappy drive in an elbows-out green-white-checkered finish.
Brown started 20th and ran among the top-20 through the first stage. Navigating a live pit stop for the first time put him 29th for the Stage 2 restart, but Brown methodically worked his way forward, rising to 26th by lap 75 and then ending the stage 23rd. The final stage saw Brown quickly enter the top-25, and he was holding steady in 18th toward the end of the race when another car’s spin set up a green-white-checkered finish.
Shortly after the green flag waved, a bevy of drivers were collected in a multicar accident in turn one, including Brown and his No. 32 Distributor Wire & Cable Chevrolet for Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport. A composed Brown brought his car to pit road for service during the caution period and he rejoined the field in 26th. When the green flag waved for the final time on lap 259, Brown placed his No. 32 machine firmly on the inside lane of the .875-mile oval. He successfully defended his position on the restart and swept underneath a host of other drivers on the final lap to secure 15th when the checkered flag fell.
Carson Brown, driver of the No. 32 Distributor Wire & Cable Chevrolet for Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport:
“Live pit stops were definitely interesting, and just feeling out the restarts in the O’Reilly Series was a lot different from what I’m used to. It definitely got a little more hectic than what I wanted it to on that last green-white-checkered, but it was a lot of fun. I think I made it from 26th to 15th in a green-white-checkered. I just tried to recover from my mistakes early and get this thing back where it needed to be after we got in that wreck with only a few to go.
“I felt good out on the racetrack. I think the biggest issue was just the pit stops, getting down pit road, just making sure nothing would happen there. Some of the restart stuff involved a lot of dirty air, and just trying to figure that piece out was a new experience, but I felt like the last stage I really started to be able to move around and get really comfortable overall. I felt like everything just came alive. The car came alive. I felt like I was the best I was all day, and I just tried to make something happen at the end.
“That green-white-checkered was challenging, but we came in and got some colder tires with pumped-up air pressure and just made something happen. I felt like we were able to move around. I jumped all the way to the bottom, we were four-wide, three-wide, just bouncing off each other and, man, for a debut, this one was pretty fun.”
Notes:
● Brown qualified 20th for the HyVee Perks 250 with a time of 24.309 seconds at 129.582 mph.
● Carson Kvapil won the HyVee Perks 250 to score his second career O’Reilly Series victory, his second of the season and his first at Iowa. His margin over second-place Rajah Caruth was .343 of a second.
● There were 12 caution periods for a total of 72 laps.
● Twenty-five of the 37 drivers in the race finished on the lead lap.

Brown will drive the No. 28 Chevrolet for Pinnacle Racing Group in what will be his 13th career ARCA start, but first on dirt. On Aug. 26, Brown is back in a Super Late Model on the ASA STARS National Tour, driving the No. 81 Chevrolet for Anthony Campi Racing.

Carson Kvapil capitalized through two overtime shootouts to double down as a two-time race winner in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series division, with his latest victory occurring in the HyVee Perks 250 at Iowa Speedway on Saturday, August 8.
The 2021 CARS Super Late Model Tour champion from Mooresville, North Carolina, led the final nine of 260 over-scheduled laps in an event where he qualified in third place, notched four stage points in the first stage period and navigated his way through a war of on-track attrition with multiple cautions and late pit strategies ensuing throughout the final stage period.
Kvapil was initially trailing teammate Ross Chastain for the lead with five laps remaining when a late caution stacked up the field for an overtime shootout. Kvapil capitalized on the first overtime shootout by overtaking Chastain for the lead before a multi-car wreck that involved teammate Justin Allgaier sent the event into a second overtime shootout. For the latest shootout, Kvapil motored away from the field and fended off teammate Rajah Caruth to notch his second consecutive victory in the O’Reilly division within a three-week span.
With on-track qualifying that determined the starting lineup occurring on Saturday, Ryan Sieg achieved his first career pole position with a pole-winning lap at 131.436 mph in 23.966 seconds. Ross Chastain qualified in second place with a lap at 131.086 mph in 24.030 seconds.
When the green flag waved and the event commenced, pole-sitter Ryan Sieg, who elected to start on the outside lane, wasted no time bolting away from Ross Chastain and the field through the frontstretch. Entering the first turn, Rajah Caruth, who qualified in fourth place, briefly snapped and went up the track. This caused Caruth to slip out of the top-five mark on the opening lap as Carson Kvapil, Sheldon Creed, Justin Allgaier and Sammy Smith moved up ahead of Caruth through the backstretch. Amid the early battles within the field, Sieg led the first lap over Chastain.
Through the Lap 10 mark, Ryan Sieg stretched his early advantage to more than a second over Chastain as Allgaier, Kvapil and Creed trailed by as far back as nearly four seconds on the track. Behind, Sammy Smith occupied sixth place ahead of Jesse Love, Caruth, Corey Day and Brandon Jones as Sieg continued to stretch his advantage to more than two seconds by Lap 20.
On Lap 26, the event’s first caution flew when Nathan Byrd spun in Turn 4. During the event’s first caution period, some, including Nick Sanchez, Blaine Perkins, Jeremy Clements, Mason Maggio and Joey Gase, pitted their respective entries while the rest, led by Ryan Sieg, remained on the track.
The start of the next restart on Lap 33 featured Ryan Sieg gaining another strong launch from the outside lane as he motored away from Chastain, Allgaier and the field entering the first turn. As Sieg led the next lap, Allgaier and Chastain were locked in a tight battle for the runner-up spot that included Creed, Kvapil, Sammy Smith and Sam Mayer.
Then prior to the Lap 35 mark, Love dropped off the pace through the backstretch due to his entry having issues staying in fourth gear. As he continued to limp his No. 2 Whelen Chevrolet Camaro entry around the track, he then spun sideways between Turns 3 and 4 before he drove through pit road and to his pit lane without drawing a caution. Despite returning to the track, Love was penalized for speeding on pit road. He eventually took his entry to the garage to have a transmission changed. Amid Love’s issues, Ryan Sieg maintained the lead.
When the first stage period concluded on Lap 60, Ryan Sieg cruised to his first O’Reilly stage victory of the 2026 season. Allgaier settled in second ahead of Creed, Chastain and Sammy Smith while Mayer, Kvapil, Brandon Jones, Day and William Sawalich were scored in the top 10, respectively.
Under the event’s first stage break period, the field led by Ryan Sieg pitted. Following the pit stops, Creed exited pit road first ahead of Allgaier, Sammy Smith, Kvapil, Jones and Mayer while Sieg dropped to seventh place ahead of Day, Sawalich and Taylor Gray. During the pit stops, Brent Crews made a second trip to pit road due to missing his pit stall during the first pit cycle.
The second stage period started on Lap 70 as Creed and Sammy Smith occupied the front row. At the start, the latter two dueled for the lead through the first two turns until Creed used the outside lane to motor ahead through the backstretch. As Mayer executed a three-wide move beneath Jones and Kvapil to challenge for fourth place, the field fanned out as Creed led the next lap.
Following a caution that flew on Lap 75 due to Kyle Sieg spinning through the first two turns, the next restart on Lap 80 featured Creed motoring away from the field entering the first two turns. As Mayer tried to execute a three-wide move beneath Sammy Smith and Allgaier for the runner-up spot, Allgaier acquired the spot. As Allgaier reeled in on Creed for the lead, Creed led the next lap. Amid Allgaier’s challenge for the lead, Creed proceeded to lead by the Lap 90 mark while Sammy Smith, Ryan Sieg, Mayer, Austin Hill, Day, Sawalich, Brent Crews and Chastain were scored in the top 10, respectively.
Then on Lap 101, Allgaier overtook Creed for the lead through the second turn. Allgaier proceeded to lead by seven-tenths of a second by the Lap 105 mark before the latter’s lead increased to more than a second by the Laps 110 and 115 marks.
When the second stage period concluded on Lap 120, Allgaier cruised to his eighth O’Reilly stage victory of the 2026 season. Creed followed suit in second place by more than two seconds ahead of Sammy Smith, Ryan Sieg and Mayer while Day, Crews, Sawalich, Austin Hill and Rajah Caruth were scored in the top 10, respectively.
During the event’s second stage break period, the field led by Allgaier returned to pit road for service. Following the pit stops, Allgaier retained the lead by exiting pit road first while Creed, Sammy Smith, Mayer, Day, Ryan Sieg, Sawalich, Hill, Crews and Caruth followed suit, respectively.
With 121 laps remaining, the final stage period commenced as Allgaier and Creed occupied the front row. At the start, Allgaier fended off Creed by a fender for a full lap as the former led the next lap while Sammy Smith, Mayer, Day and Ryan Sieg followed suit, respectively. While Day slipped out of the top-10 mark as he slid up the track and tapped Sawalich, Allgaier maintained the lead by nearly eight-tenths of a second over Creed with 110 laps remaining.
Then with 101 laps remaining, the caution returned when Anthony Alfredo spun off of the fourth turn. During this caution period, select names like Brandon Jones and Kyle Sieg pitted their respective entries. As the field restarted with 95 laps remaining, Allgaier maintained the lead for the next three laps before the caution flew due to Sawalich spinning in the second turn after he got hit by Patrick Staropoli.
For the next restart with 85 laps remaining, Allgaier, who was among the select few competitors who did not pit during the previous caution, maintained the lead over Mayer and the stacked field for a full cycle. Shortly after, the caution returned due to Cody Ware wrecking in the first turn after he got hit by Love. Allgaier then barely fended off Mayer for a full lap during the next restart with 77 laps remaining before a spin by Lavar Scott stacked the field with the caution flying.
With 71 laps remaining, Allgaier and Mayer dueled at the next restart’s launch, with Allgaier maintaining the advantage from the outside lane. Allgaier continued to maintain his advantage over the next three laps before a spin by Mason Maggio through the frontstretch drew the event’s ninth caution period. During this caution period, Allgaier and Mayer pitted as Jeb Burton cycled to the lead.
When the event restarted with 62 laps remaining, Jeb Burton maintained a steady lead over Chastain and Kvapil for half a lap before the latter two went beneath Burton through Turns 3 and 4. This caused Burton to drop to fourth as Kvapil also briefly went up the track and settled in front of Burton with the runner-up spot. As Ryan Sieg came to play and battled both Kvapil and Burton for second place, Chastain motored away to lead the next lap. Chastain led the next four laps under green flag conditions before the caution flew when Day wrecked hard against the Turn 1 wall following contact with Sammy Smith.
For the next restart that flew with 50 laps remaining, Chastain and Ryan Sieg dueled for the top spot in front of Hill, Kvapil and the field for a full lap as Chastain barely led the next lap from the outside lane. With Chastain just managing to clear and motor ahead of Sieg through the first two turns, the former retained the lead with 40 laps remaining. Chastain led by three-tenths of a second over Sieg and four-tenths of a second over Kvapil with 30 laps remaining before Chastain’s lead grew to more than a second with 20 laps remaining. By then, Kvapil assumed the runner-up spot from Sieg as Chastain led his teammate by eight-tenths of a second with 10 laps remaining.
Then, with five laps remaining, Jeb Burton, who had dropped to 19th place, spun in the second turn. By then, Chastain was leading by half a second over Kvapil while Allgaier had carved his way up to third place ahead of Ryan Sieg and Creed. Burton’s incident sent the event into overtime
The start of the first overtime attempt did not last long as the front-runners stumbled through the frontstretch and the field fanned out as Kvapil stormed beneath Chastain to take the lead. Seconds later, Crews slipped up the track, made contact with Ryan Sieg and ran into the side of Allgaier. This caused the latter trio to wreck against the first turn’s outside wall as Mayer also spun while being clipped by Sammy Smith in the process. More names like Carson Brown, Patrick Staropoli and Joey Gase wrecked against the wall while Kvapil, Chastain, Hill, Caruth, Creed, Sawalich and the rest of the field escaped the carnage.
The start of the second overtime attempt featured Kvapil gaining an advantage from the outside lane as he motored his No. 1 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet Camaro entry ahead entering the first turn. Behind, Caruth motored his No. 88 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro entry into second place as Hill made slight contact with Chastain, which caused the latter two to briefly lose their momentum. With Hill dropping towards the top-10 mark, Sawalich battled Chastain for third place while Kvapil led Caruth through the backstretch.
When the white flag waved and the final lap started, Kvapil remained in the lead by three-tenths of a second over teammate Caruth. With Caruth unable to reel in on Kvapil’s rear bumper for a final circuit, Kvapil smoothly navigated his way back to the frontstretch and claimed the checkered flag by three-tenths of a second.
With the victory, Kvapil became the ninth competitor to achieve his first two career victories in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series division in back-to-back events. He also became the 16th competitor to win an O’Reilly event at Iowa Speedway and the 139th competitor overall to achieve multiple victories in the O’Reilly division. Kvapil’s Iowa victory marks the 20th victory for the Chevrolet manufacturer, the 15th for JR Motorsports and the fourth for JR Motorsports’ No. 1 team led by crew chief Rodney Childress in the 2026 campaign.

“I knew we had a really fast car,” Kvapil said on the CW Network. “I knew [Allgaier] was on fresher tires, so that was really my biggest concern there. I think [Chastain] probably had it, that yellow didn’t come out there at the end. I thought we were fast running them down, but we just didn’t have enough there to fill the gap, but [crew chief] Rodney [Childers] and everyone at Bass Pro Shops, Clarience Technologies with Hendrick Motors under the hood brought a really fast race car. Unlike our first few stages, we were really able to run down the leaders there at the end and it just all worked out. We got that restart we needed, and we got the win.”
Teammate Rajah Caruth followed suit to notch a career-best runner-up result in his 45th O’Reilly career start. As a result, Caruth, who is ranked in 14th place in the driver’s standings, is scored 15 points below the top-12 cutline looking ahead to this year’s regular-season finale event at Daytona International Speedway on August 28 that will determine this year’s O’Reilly Chase field.
“We were chasing the balance all day,” Caruth said. “The restarts kind of worked out for us. I was trying to just be the closest to the front because you never know how they’ll shake out. Sometimes, it works out. Sometimes, it doesn’t, and it worked out for us today. I probably wanted a little more and wouldn’t have gone up finishing second, but I guess you can’t complain too bad. A lot to work on still and got to go plate racing in a couple of weeks.”
William Sawalich settled in third place and moved to 11th place in the standings as he is a single point above the cutline to make his first O’Reilly Chase. Ross Chastain and Sheldon Creed, both of whom led a combined 99 laps, finished in the top five, respectively.
Nick Sanchez, Taylor Gray, Dean Thompson, Harrison Burton and Brennan Poole completed the top 10, respectively, on the track. Notably, Justin Allgaier, who led a race-high 83 laps, ended up in 24th place. In addition, pole-sitter Ryan Sieg, who led 65 laps, fell back to 33rd place as he was unable to finish following his first overtime accident.
Meanwhile, Sammy Smith clinched a Chase berth despite finishing in 17th place at Iowa. Parker Retzlaff, Sam Mayer, William Sawalich and Brent Crews currently occupy the remaining four vacant spots to the Chase with a single regular-season event remaining on the schedule.
This event featured seven lead changes for seven different leaders, and 12 cautions for 72 laps. In addition, 25 of 37 starters finished on the lead lap.
Following the 23rd event of the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season, Justin Allgaier leads the regular-season standings by 238 points over teammate Carson Kvapil, 266 over Sheldon Creed, 299 over Jesse Love and 321 over Corey Day.

Next on the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series schedule is the Wawa 250 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, which will also cap off this year’s regular-season stretch and determine the 12-car Chase field. The event is scheduled to occur on August 28 and air at 7:30 p.m. ET on the CW Network, MRN Radio and SiriusXM.
PORTLAND, Ore. (Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026) – Felix Rosenqvist wants to add another win for Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian before he leaves the team at the end of this season.
He’ll have one of his best chances to achieve that goal after winning the NTT P1 Award for the OnlyBulls Grand Prix of Portland on Saturday at Portland International Raceway.
Rosenqvist, who won the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge in May, earned his second pole of the season and eighth of his career in the No. 60 SiriusXM Honda sporting a colorful livery this weekend saluting legendary rock band the Grateful Dead. His best lap was 58.4828 seconds, completed with three seconds remaining in a taut Firestone Fast Six session.
That was enough to edge series leader and four-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou, who will join Rosenqvist on the front row Sunday after his best lap of 58.5012 in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda.
“It’s a phenomenal team effort,” Rosenqvist said. “We just kept tuning on it. I think we started off a little bit behind yesterday and really didn’t do anything magical. We just tried to focus on execution and putting all the corners together.”
The Swede is leaving MSR – a team that has two career victories, both in the Indy 500 – after this season for Arrow McLaren, where he will join six-time series champion and team newcomer Scott Dixon and team veteran Pato O’Ward.
Palou, aiming for a record-tying fourth straight championship, just missed earning his seventh pole of the season when Rosenqvist ended his final lap on the 12-turn, 1.964-mile road course.
“I had too much lunch today, man,” Palou said with a smile when asked where he could have found more speed on his best lap. “It’s so close. It hurts when it’s that close. But happy for Felix, happy for a Honda 1-2 there. Let’s see what kind of car we have for the race.”
The 110-lap race starts at 4 p.m. ET Sunday on FOX, FOX Deportes. FOX One and INDYCAR Radio powered by OnlyBulls.
Will Power moved to Andretti Global this season after winning this race in 2024 and 2025, the last two of his 16 full-time seasons with Team Penske, but he showed why this is one of his favorite tracks by qualifying third at 58.5130 in the No. 26 TWG AI Honda.
Power’s teammate Marcus Ericsson celebrated his contract renewal this week with Andretti Global for 2027 by qualifying fourth at 58.6729 in the No. 28 Delaware Life Honda.
Rinus VeeKay continued his strong season by producing the quickest lap by a Chevrolet-powered driver, ending up fifth at 58.7701 in the No. 76 Juncos Hollinger Racing Chevy. Kyffin Simpson will join VeeKay in the third row of the starting grid after qualifying sixth at 59.0841 in the No. 8 Sunoco Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, his first appearance this season in the Firestone Fast Six.
Honda-powered drivers dominated qualifying, leading all three rounds in the knockout format and grabbing 10 of the first 12 qualifying spots.
Besides VeeKay, the only Bowtie driver who qualified in the top 12 is championship contender David Malukas, who qualified ninth at 58.8690 in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. But Malukas will start six places back from that position as a penalty for an unapproved engine change at the previous round at Nashville Superspeedway, adding to his challenge Sunday.
Palou leads second-place Malukas by 83 points – a gap of more than a race – with six races remaining. A clean, steady race could expand that gap because Malukas and third-place Kyle Kirkwood are starting behind the reigning series champion, with PIR’s tight first-corner chicane sometimes inducing chaos and carnage toward the middle and back of the starting grid.
Kirkwood qualified seventh at 58.8303 in the No. 27 Sam’s Club Honda of Andretti Global, missing a spot in the Firestone Fast Six by .0352 of a second.
Christian Lundgaard has scored more points on natural road courses like PIR than any driver this season, but he struggled with various mechanical problems and didn’t make it out the first round. He qualified 25th at 59.5423 in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet.
SAWALICH SCORES THIRD STRAIGHT TOP-FIVE FINISH AT IOWA Sam Hunt Racing puts both Supras in the top-10 for the first time this season
NEWTON, Iowa (August 8, 2026) – William Sawalich battled back through the field after getting spun and led Toyota with a third-place finish at Iowa Speedway on Saturday evening. Taylor Gray (seventh) put a second Joe Gibbs Racing Supra in the top-10.
Sawalich, Gray and Brent Crews go into the final race of the regular season – Daytona International Speedway – separated by one point for the final two Chase positions.
Sam Hunt Racing had the best day of 2026 as both Dean Thompson (eighth) and Harrison Burton (ninth) put their Supras in the top-10. It is the fourth time in team history that they have put two Supras in the top-10 finishers (2023 Darlington-1, 2024 Road America, 2025 Bristol-1).

TOYOTA QUOTES
WILLIAM SAWALICH, No. 18 SoundGear Toyota GR Supra, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finishing Position: 3rd
What is the emotion with the chance that you have to make the Chase going into Daytona?
“We knew coming in that we still had a chance even if the day didn’t go our way. We were top-10 in stage one and stage two, so we got a little bit of points there, and then finished it off in third. Just picked good lanes on restarts. We put ourselves in the position there and did what we had to do there at the end with our SoundGear Supra because every point matters.”
TAYLOR GRAY, No. 54 Operation 300 Toyota GR Supra, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finishing Position: 7th
Solid top-10 run. How was the race today?
“We struggled really all day from practice, and qualifying and the race. We struggled with balance really, but proud of everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing, TOYOTA RACING – everyone worked really hard all day and fought really hard to come out and have a decent finish. Obviously not what we wanted stage wise, getting no stage points, and going into Daytona kind of backed into a corner, but it could have been a lot worse. We will have to keep our heads down, keep rolling and keep working.”
DEAN THOMPSON, No. 26 Thompson Pipe Group Toyota GR Supra, Sam Hunt Racing
Finishing Position: 8th
Double top-10 for Sam Hunt Racing, and another solid run for you, Dean.
“Really happy with the result for our Thompson Pipe Group Toyota team. We struggled here last year, but we worked hard in the offseason and these past few weeks, just trying to build a better race car to bring here. We just missed it last year. Everyone knows that Sam Hunt (Racing) is good here because of how Corey (Heim) performed that one year. This is where we should race at this race track, and I’m just happy that we ended up here.”
HARRISON BURTON, No. 24 AIRBOX Toyota GR Supra, Sam Hunt Racing
Finishing Position: 9th
Progressively moving the right way, and another solid top-10 finish.
“Yeah, I thought our race team brought Dean (Thompson) and I both very similar cars and it seemed like run to run, Dean would be better or I would be better – especially stage two, I thought I hit our best run, and kind of struggled from there. I thought our stage three we did a good job of making do of what we had and not giving up. That is the main thing in these races, as you saw. It is such a crazy finish to these things, a lot of times, you just have to keep yourself in it. Proud of our whole AIRBOX Toyota team. Proud of Dean. I thought we worked together well the last few weeks, and it is starting to show.”

Portland, OR- Grand Prix of Portland in Portland OR (Photo by Travis Hinkle | IMS Photo)
PORTLAND, Ore. (Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026) – Alessandro de Tullio’s march toward an INDY NXT by Firestone season record continued Saturday – by a tiny margin.
De Tullio earned his eighth pole this season – one shy of tying the all-time record for the INDYCAR development series – in the No. 14 AJ Foyt Racing entry, holding off Andretti Global’s Lochie Hughes by .0033 of a second to earn the top starting spot for the Grand Prix of Portland. It was the fourth-closest duel for the pole on a road or street circuit in series history.
“Unreal,” de Tullio said. “This season has been, in terms of speed, amazing. I just can’t thank this team enough for giving me a great car. Every weekend, we’re always there, always fast. We’re constantly on the front row.”
Series rookie De Tullio, from Miami, has started first or second in 12 of the 14 races this season. He is trying to break the series record of nine poles set in 2018 by current NTT INDYCAR SERIES star Pato O’Ward.
De Tullio’s pole-winning lap of 1 minute, 2.2006 seconds came in the first qualifying group. He was forced to sit and watch half of the field try to topple his time, with series veteran Hughes falling just short at 1:02.2039 in the No. 26 Andretti Global entry on the 12-turn, 1.964-mile road course.
Max Taylor will start third after his best lap of 1:02.2347 in the No. 28 Susan G. Komen car of Andretti Global. Championship contender Tymek Kucharczyk, who led practice Saturday morning, will join Taylor on the second row after his lap of 1:02.2268 in the No. 71 HMD Motorsports entry.
Jacob Abel, making his first series start since 2024, qualified fifth at 1:02.3116 in the No. 48 Abel Motorsports machine. Abel’s teammate Myles Rowe rounded out the third row at 1:02.3408 in the No. 99 Abel Motorsports with Force Indy car.
Kucharczyk, 25 points behind series leader Nikita Johnson, is the only one of the three main title contenders starting near the front. Johnson qualified ninth at 1:02.4178 in the No. 21 Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR car. Fellow rookie Enzo Fittipaldi, one point behind Johnson in second, will start 12th after his best lap of 1:02.5727 in the No. 67 HMD Motorsports car.
The 35-lap race starts at 2 p.m. ET Sunday (FS1, FOX One, INDYCAR Radio powered by OnlyBulls).
While the title fight rages, De Tullio will try to convert his Saturday speed into Sunday success, a rarity this season. He has just one victory – in March at Barber Motorsports Park – despite starting on the front row 12 times this season. He is seventh in the standings.
“It’s a little bit hard, as well, considering the speed we have and where we are in points and things that go on, it’s a little bit difficult to think about that,” de Tullio said. “But the important thing is we are there, we have the pace. On this side of things, it’s been a great season.”
Ryan Blaney sped to his third Busch Light Pole Award of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season for the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway on Saturday August 8.
The event’s starting lineup was determined through an on-track qualifying session that consisted of a single-car, two-lap qualifying format. During the session, each of the 36 competitors vying for 36 starting spots cycled around Iowa twice to post the fastest lap amongst one another. The competitor who posted the fastest lap was awarded the pole position.
During the session, Blaney, who was the fifth-fastest competitor during Saturday’s practice session, utilized his two-lap qualifying session to post his fastest lap at 134.191 mph in 23.474 seconds. Blaney’s lap was enough for the 2023 Cup Series champion from High Point, North Carolina, to secure his third pole position of this season.
With the pole, Blaney, who is wearing a Kyle Busch tribute helmet for this weekend’s event, recorded his 15th Cup Series career pole for his 401st series start, his fourth on a short track venue, his first at Iowa and his first since EchoPark Speedway in July. The qualifying result left Blaney pleased with the handling of his No. 12 Team Penske Ford entry as he strives to contend for his second victory in Newton, Iowa.
“[A] Really, really cool day,” Blaney said. “[I] Appreciate the really fast car. The No. 12 Menards Pennington Ford Mustang was fast in practice. I was able to lay down a good lap and honestly, my first lap wasn’t what I wanted. Fortunately, we had enough grip, kind of car came in, changed my line up a little bit for the second one to run a little bit faster and hang on for the pole…It’s gonna be a tough one tomorrow. This track changes a lot. It’s gonna be pretty warm. It’s a long day, long race, so really important to try to keep up with it, but it’s nice to start off strong and hopefully, we can continue that for tomorow.”
Blaney will share the front row with Kyle Larson, the latter of whom was the 19th-fastest competitor in practice. Larson rebounded by posting the second-fastest lap at 134.088 mph in 23.492 seconds. Joey Logano, who also posted his fastest lap at 134.088 mph in 23.492 seconds, will start in third place ahead of Brad Keselowski and Tyler Reddick in the top-five mark, respectively. Keselowski managed to post a blistering lap during his first of two qualifying laps before he wrecked into the Turn 1 wall.
Ty Gibbs, Austin Dillon, Connor Zilisch, Ross Chastain and Erik Jones, the latter of whom was the fastest in practice, completed the top-10 starting grid, respectively. Notably, Chase Elliott, who spun in practice, will start in 32nd place while Denny Hamlin, the points leader, will start in 29th place. William Byron, the defending Cup Iowa winner, will start in 19th place.
With 39 competitors vying for 39 starting spots, all made the main event.
