Full Bristol Race Results – Zilisch Holds Tough Over Larson

Under the lights at the Last Great Coliseum, we got a duel of the ages between a two-time Cup Series Champion and the rising phenom. Kyle Larson would lead a race high of 230 laps in pursuit of his second race win of the 2026 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season. Larson dominated the first two Stages as well as the majority of the final stage. In the end, some late race restarts would play the joker to the domination, where Connor Zilisch and Brent Crews would both get around Larson.

Crews would battle Zilisch hard for the lead, but would get into the wall, allowing Larson by for second. Zilisch led three times for a total of 23 laps to take the 12th checkered flag of his young NASCAR career. Larson would be in hot pursuit, but got loose with about 3 laps to go. The highest finishing OAPS Regular, Justin Allgaier, would go on to win the Dash4Cash and the $100,000 bonus.
