Justin Allgaier's massive 229-point lead is gone, replaced with a 25-point buffer as the Chase field is reset for the final nine races of the 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series season.
With Allgaier leading the way, all four full-time JR Motorsports drivers made the Chase field. Rajah Caruth and Taylor Gray claimed the final two spots inside the Chase field, while Joe Gibbs Racing teammates William Sawalich and Brent Crews missed out by five and six points, respectively.
The real underdog of the 2026 Chase field is Parker Retzlaff, who comfortably made it in with the Viking Motorsports team.
