NASCAR at Sonoma News •By Chris Deeley
The 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series continues at Sonoma later today (Saturday, June 27) and we have all the detail you need for the race.
The Pit Boss/FoodMaxx 250 will see the O’Reilly Stars complete 79 laps of the road course in northern California, with stage breaks on laps 20 and 45. Total race distance is 157.21 miles.
Justin Allgaier comes into this weekend’s action with a commanding 224-point lead over defending champion Jesse Love in the current season standings, after Love clawed back 26 points at Coronado last Saturday.
However, neither of them are expected to be the story of the day. That, with the race on a road course, is Shane van Gisbergen’s remit – starting from pole at Sonoma for the third year in a row in the series.
A heated battle with his Cup Series team-mate Connor Zilisch was hotly anticipated, but a cut tire in qualifying means that the teenage phenom will have to work his way up through the field from the back before he gets the chance to go wheel-to-wheel with the New Zealander.
