2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Schedule
On Wednesday, August 20, NASCAR revealed the 2026 schedules for all three of its National Series. Here is the complete 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series schedule, which includes changes like the addition of the San Diego Street Race and a date at Chicagoland.
The second-tier division will contest its first race as the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series on Saturday, February 14, at Daytona International Speedway. The 2.5-mile superspeedway has been the site of the season opener since the series was created in 1982.

Dover Motor Speedway will host a points-paying event for the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series during All-Star Weekend in May. The second-tier series will compete at the one-mile racetrack on Saturday, May 16.
As previously announced, the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series will contest a street course event in San Diego on Father's Day Weekend, alongside the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Darlington Raceway gets its second date back after Portland International Speedway's standalone event was dropped from the 2026 schedule. Portland had been a fixture on the schedule for the last couple of seasons.
Finally, Homestead-Miami Speedway will host Championship Weekend for the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
