The Complete 2026 NASCAR Xfinity Fastest Lap Database

The Xfinity Fastest Lap program that awards one bonus point to the driver that records the fastest lap in a NASCAR top three series race made its debut in 2025, and the program is back for 2026.

The rules are almost the same as last year, with one notable exception: drivers that head to the garage are now ineligible to earn the point after returning to the track. The 2025 season saw Kyle Larson earn the fastest lap point at Mexico City and Watkins Glen International after extended stays in the garage, as did Josh Berry in the Southern 500.

Under the new rules, all of these times would be ineligible for the bonus point. A driver that goes to the garage can still earn the fastest lap point, but only if their fastest lap was recorded before their trip to the infield.

Also new to 2026 is NASCAR increasing the points for a race win from 40 to 55. Add in the 20 points for two stage wins and the fastest lap bonus, and the new maximum points day in NASCAR this season is 76 (86 for the Coca-Cola 600).

Below is the chart, which will be updated on a weekly basis, of the drivers that earned the bonus point (as well as the speed they ran) in every Cup, O’Reilly and Craftsman Truck Series race run in 2026. Races where the driver went on to win are in bold, while races where the driver went on to score the maximum 76 points are in bold and underlined.

Of the 43 top three series races run this season, 14 of them were won by the driver that set the fastest lap. Of the 14 that won the race, three of them (Corey Heim in the Rockingham Truck race, Kyle Busch in the Dover Truck race and Layne Riggs in the Nashville Truck race) scored the maximum 76 points.
