Here's the thing about this weekend. The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Chase rolls on at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway, bringing us the 26th points-paying race of the 2026 season for Saturday’s Nu Way 225 Powered by Bobcat and Sauced by Blues Hog.

Thirty-six cars are entered into this weekend’s Chase showdown. Action kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET, with coverage available on The CW, ESPN Unlimited, MRN Radio, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
