The veteran's 30th career victory gives him a 52-point lead six races into the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season.

Overview

  • Allgaier capitalized on the final restart to take control late at Darlington and secure his second win of 2026.
  • Kyle Larson won the pole and led 107 laps, but a slow pit stop during a lap-127 caution dropped him to fifth before he finished fourth.
  • The Darlington triumph is Allgaier’s fourth at the track and the 30th of his career, tying Joey Logano for seventh on the all-time wins list.
  • JR Motorsports’ run continued with a fourth consecutive series victory as teammates factored throughout the race.
  • Christopher Bell finished third, rookie Carson Kvapil took fifth, and Allgaier now leads the standings with 306 points, 52 ahead of Jesse Love with 27 races remaining and the playoff cutoff after Race 24.
