Allgaier wins NASCAR Phoenix race

Justin Allgaier's victory at Phoenix marks his 29th career win in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series. Allgaier, driving the No. 7 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports, took the lead with just 11 laps remaining in the 200-lap race. This win is his first of the 2026 season and his third at the Phoenix Raceway. Allgaier had to overcome a slow pit stop that dropped him back to 21st position. He managed to pass Jesse Love, who led for a dominant 114 laps, to secure the win. The victory moved Allgaier to the top of the season standings. Denny Hamlin's fifth-place finish in the Cup Series race at Phoenix marks his first top-five finish of the 2026 season. The Straight Talk Wireless 500 saw a record 12 caution flags. Ryan Blaney ultimately won the race, ending Tyler Reddick's three-race winning streak.
