The 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series continues at EchoPark Speedway today, Friday, February 20, with qualifying ahead of the Bennett Transportation & Logistics 250.
If that name looks a little bit unfamiliar to you, do not be alarmed. For 2026 and beyond, O'Reilly Auto Parts has taken over the title sponsorship of NASCAR's second division, which was previously titled the Xfinity Series.
EchoPark Speedway, formerly known as Atlanta Motor Speedway, is a 1.54-mile asphalt oval, with the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series drivers set to have a single lap to set their fastest times this evening.
Last year's February qualifying session at Atlanta was dominated by Richard Childress Racing, with Jesse Love qualifying on the pole and Austin Hill finishing in second.
Those drivers will certainly fancy their chances again given RCR's speed at drafting tracks, with Hill no doubt full of confidence after his win at Daytona last weekend.

Is there Xfinity Series qualifying today?
Yes and no. No, there is no Xfinity Series qualifying today. However, that is because NASCAR's second division has been renamed the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series for 2026.
O'Reilly Auto Parts signed a multi-year title sponsorship with NASCAR that was announced in August 2025.
