The NASCAR O’Reilly Series competed at Talladega Superspeedway and it was a thrilling event. Carson Kvapil won Stage 1 while Justin Allgaier won Stage 2; however, neither driver won after NASCAR penalized them for impeding cars. Instead, it was a full-time O’Reilly Series driver who won their first career NASCAR race in 2026.
Corey Day and the No. 17 team for Hendrick Motorsports won the Ag-Pro 300 at Talladega on Saturday, earning their first victory of the 2026 O’Reilly Series season. Day was able to survive the chaos on the final lap, beating Brent Crews and Sheldon Creed before the caution flag flew on the final lap.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver has been so close to winning his first career NASCAR event but no one expected it to come on a superspeedway track. Now, Day is finally a NASCAR winner and he hopes it is the first of many. After all, this should give Day even more confidence moving forward.
