NASCAR Andy’s Frozen Custard 340 at Texas Motor Speedway

Kyle Larson secured a victory at the Andy’s Frozen Custard 340 on Saturday, May 2, 2026, after a late-race battle at Texas Motor Speedway. Larson managed to hold off Justin Allgaier during the final stage and a late restart to claim the win in an event characterized by early chaos and numerous cautions.

The race, which served as the 12th points-paying event of the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season, was contested over 200 laps on the 1.5-mile intermediate quad-oval in Fort Worth, Texas. Allgaier finished in second place, followed by Sam Mayer in third, Brent Crews in fourth, and Parker Retzlaff in fifth.

Dash 4 Cash Finale

The event also marked the conclusion of the season’s Dash 4 Cash program. This final bout featured four eligible drivers competing for a potential $100,000 prize: Sheldon Creed, Brent Crews, Corey Day, and Sammy Smith.

According to NASCAR, the competition was a focal point of the weekend, with Sheldon Creed entering the event aiming to add another $100,000 to his earnings for the season.

Sponsorship and Event Integration

The race was titled in honor of Andy’s Frozen Custard, which has maintained a multi-year partnership with Texas Motor Speedway. As the entitlement sponsor for the event and the official frozen treat of the venue, the brand integrated promotional offers for racing fans throughout the weekend.

Promotional activities included race vouchers available at various Andy’s Frozen Custard locations across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including sites in Arlington, Fort Worth, Frisco, and Grand Prairie, allowing customers to earn tickets for the Saturday event.

The partnership reflects a long-term agreement between the custard chain and the speedway, which was extended in April 2024 to continue the brand’s presence as a primary sponsor for the series’ visit to Texas.

Race Dynamics

The competition began with significant volatility, as reporting indicated that chaos reigned early due to a high volume of cautions. This instability set the stage for a tense final stage where Larson’s ability to navigate a late restart proved decisive in separating him from Allgaier.

The 2026 running of the Andy’s Frozen Custard 340 represents the 22nd time the event has been held, continuing the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series’ tradition of visiting the venue known as The Great American Speedway.
