Justin Allgaier nabbed his fourth win of the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season on Saturday night (May 30) at Nashville Superspeedway.
It’s Allgaier’s 32nd career victory in the series and his third win in The Music City. He passed rookie Brent Crews for the lead with just under 20 laps to go in the race.
Allgaier also won the second stage of the race and led 50 laps in total on the evening.
“I saw Brent (Crews) struggle coming out of that green flag pit stop, I knew we had a car that was capable of getting there,” Allgaier said to The CW broadcast on the frontstretch. “Wins are wins and they’re understated to what it means to this team.”
Crews finished runner-up to Allgaier as he came just short of his first career win in the series, leading 45 laps.
“Got to start 33rd and work our way up to the lead and lead a lot of laps and got to race one of the best guys in our series for the win,” Crews told The CW broadcast on pit road. “That was probably the most fun I’ve had in a race not winning.”
William Sawalich finished third, Sam Mayer finished fourth, and Brandon Jones completed the top five finishers.
Corey Day, Carson Kvapil, Kyle Larson, Taylor Gray, and Sammy Smith finished in the sixth to 10th positions.
Jesse Love won the first stage and led 87 laps in the event but had a loose wheel in the final stage and had to pit while running inside the top five. Love had a slow stop on pit road and ultimately finished 16th.
Allgaier opened up his points lead over Love to 179 points. Taylor Gray continues to hold the final Chase spot by 12 points over Rajah Caruth and 15 points over both Crews and Ryan Sieg.
