The 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series hits Indianapolis Motor Speedway today, Saturday, July 25th, and it's qualifying first up!
NASCAR has confirmed that single-car qualifying procedures will be in place on Saturday afternoon, with 38 drivers attempting to secure pole for the Pennzoil 250 Presented by Take 5 Oil Change.
Last year at Indianapolis, Sam Mayer was the driver who claimed pole for the O'Reilly (then Xfinity) Series race and 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.
With that said, let's get into the important timing and TV details below.
