The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series championship remains tightly bunched with five drivers still mathematically eligible heading into the Homestead-Miami Speedway finale. Justin Allgaier assumed the points lead after finishing runner-up at Martinsville, where Carson Kvapil converted the pole into victory by leading 121 laps and holding off his JR Motorsports teammate. Jesse Love, the defending champion, suffered a late-race setback that dropped him 22 points behind, while Hendrick Motorsports rookie Corey Day sits just one point farther back. Sheldon Creed trails by 42. Short-track form, stage points accumulation, and clean finishes at the 1.5-mile oval will decide the outcome among these contenders, whose recent playoff results have kept the title fight wide open.
