It's race day today in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, and we've got all of the information you need to know ahead of the action.
Saturday's GOVX 200 marks the fourth race on the O'Reilly Series schedule for 2026 and will see the drivers complete 200 laps around the 1-mile Arizona track under the lights tonight (7:30 pm ET).
So far this season, we have had three different race winners, with Austin Hill, Sheldon Creed, and Shane van Gisbergen having all put their O'Reilly Series cars in victory lane so far.
With that said, it's Hill who leads the way at the top of the driver standings before a wheel is turned on Saturday, with Jesse Love in second, making it a Richard Childress Racing one-two.
Speaking of Love, he won the O'Reilly Series (then Xfinity Series) championship the last time we were at Phoenix in November, denying Connor Zilisch the title after his dominant season.
He starts second on the grid today and will face stiff competition to repeat that success, including from Cup Series star William Byron, driving the No. 88 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports this weekend.

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 signed a multi-year title sponsorship with NASCAR that was announced in August 2025.
