The 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series season ended with a split decision at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday night: Brandon Jones won the race, but Justin Allgaier won the war, clinching the series championship in the November 7 finale.

It's the classic championship-weekend outcome — the race winner and the title winner are two different drivers. Under the series' playoff format, Allgaier only needed to beat his fellow title contenders to the line, and he did exactly that while Jones collected the checkered flag out front.

For Allgaier, the title caps a season-long campaign in NASCAR's second-tier national series and adds another championship to one of the most decorated resumes in the division's modern era. Jones, meanwhile, closes his year with a statement win at one of the circuit's trickiest ovals. Final series points standings were published alongside the race results, closing the book on the O'Reilly Series season as NASCAR's championship weekend rolls on at Homestead.
