Corey Day wins NASCAR O’Reilly race at Las Vegas

NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Corey Day Las Vegas Motor Speedway Focused Health 302 Chase standings

Corey Day secured his third NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series victory of the season at the Focused Health 302, held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Driving for Hendrick Motorsports, the 20-year-old rookie started from the pole and led 136 of the 201 laps. In a dramatic finish, Day narrowly defeated Carson Kvapil of JR Motorsports by just 0.287 seconds after a late-race duel where the two drivers exchanged the lead four times in the final 12 laps.

The race also saw significant implications for the championship standings. Sheldon Creed maintains his lead in the points standings despite a 13th-place finish. Carson Kvapil moved into second place, trailing Creed by 19 points, while Jesse Love moved into third.

Championship contender Justin Allgaier suffered a major setback after being caught in a crash involving Brandon Jones during the second stage. The incident forced Allgaier to the garage, and he ultimately finished 34th, dropping him to fourth in the standings, 31 points behind Creed.
