The 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series hits Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday, May 30, and we've got all of the information you need ahead of practice, qualifying and the race.
The Sports Illustrated Resorts 250 is set to see the O'Reilly Stars complete 188 laps on Saturday evening, with stage breaks on laps 45 and 95.
Last year's pole position was taken by William Sawalich, but the race itself was dominated by Justin Allgaier – who won both stages, led 101 laps, and set the fastest lap on his way to victory.
Allgaier comes into this weekend's action with a commanding lead in points thanks in large part to his ten top-five finishes, which have helped him to a 145-point lead over reigning champion Jesse Love.
