The 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series continues at EchoPark Speedway today, Saturday, February 21, with 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 named the Xfinity Series.
Drivers completed their single-lap qualifying runs at EchoPark Speedway (formerly named Atlanta Motor Speedway) on Friday, with Sam Mayer sending his No. 41 Haas Factory Team Chevrolet around the 1.54-mile asphalt oval the fastest.
Austin Hill, looking to sweep the opening two weekends of the season for the second year out of the last three, will start down in 20th after a disappointing qualifying – but it would be a mistake to write off the drafting track specialist, who led 146 of 163 laps in the same race last year and is coming off a brilliant win at Daytona last weekend.
