The 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series hits Indianapolis Motor Speedway for race action today, Saturday, July 25th.
The Pennzoil 250 Presented by Take 5 Oil Change is set to see the O'Reilly Series drivers complete 100 laps of the famous 2.5-mile track, with stage breaks on laps 30 and 60.
Last year at Indianapolis, Connor Zilisch took the win for JR Motorsports in the No. 88 Chevrolet on his way to a record-breaking season that saw him take 10 victories in total.
We can't wait to see who comes out on top this time around, particularly with Cup Series stars Chase Elliott and Ross Chastain in the field.

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