With two races remaining in the O'Reilly Series regular season, Kvapil sits second in the standings with a four-point advantage over third place. This comes after his first career NASCAR victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Kvapil's 2026 NASCAR season has been pretty crazy, as he isn't a full-time driver with JR Motorsports. Despite leaving the No. 1 car for DGM Racing on some race weekends, Kvapil still sits second in the standings. Granted, JR Motorsports has been the best O'Reilly Series team during the 2026 season.
It is mathematically impossible for Kvapil to catch Justin Allgaier for the No. 1 seed, meaning he is focused on being in second place. After winning his first O'Reilly Series race at Indianapolis, Kvapil hopes to move forward with even more momentum, getting the first victory out of the way.
