RACE RECAP
Andy's Frozen Custard 340 — Saturday, May 2, 2026 · Texas Motor Speedway · 200 laps, 340.4 km
The 17-lap green-flag run from Lap 184 to the checkered was always going to belong to one of two cars. Kyle Larson made sure it was his.
Driving the No. 88 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet, Larson held off teammate Justin Allgaier on the final restart and pulled away through the closing stages to win the Andy's Frozen Custard 340 — his second consecutive O'Reilly Auto Parts Series win at Texas Motor Speedway, his third overall at the 1.5-mile, and the 19th of his O'Reilly career. Allgaier — driving the No. 7 BRANDT Chevrolet for JR Motorsports — closed to within bumper distance in the final five laps but couldn't find the move that would have stolen the win from Hendrick stablemate.
Allgaier set the tone early. The pole sitter led every lap of the opening 45-lap stage, controlled the race off the truck and looked every bit the Hendrick chassis the field would be chasing all afternoon. Stage 2 belonged briefly to Connor Zilisch, who'd worked himself into the lead before an unscheduled stop for a flat tire dropped the No. 1 Trackhouse-affiliated entry to a P21 finish. The race's narrative shifted decisively on Lap 179 when Rajah Caruth got into the wall off Turn 2, bringing out the caution that would set up the final five-lap shootout.
