What the NASCAR O'Reilly Series Chase bubble looks like after Pocono

Justin Allgaier clinched a Chase berth Saturday with his victory at Pocono Raceway. Here's what the rest of the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Chase bubble looks like with seven races left in the regular season. 

1. Justin Allgaier (Clinched)

2. Jesse Love (+163)

3. Corey Day (+146)

4. Sheldon Creed (+140)

5. Brandon Jones (+118)

6. Austin Hill (+94

7. Carson Kvapil (+94)

8. Sammy Smith (+75)

9. Sam Mayer (+30)

As has been the case over the last several weeks, this is where the Chase bubble tightens dramatically. Mayer had a shot to win Saturday's race before fading on the last restart following a three-wide move from his teammate, Sheldon Creed. He did gain two spots and four points on the bubble this week. 

10. Parker Retzlaff (+17)

Retzlaff ran inside the top five on Saturday but finished 15th. The No. 99 team continues to punch above its weight on a weekly basis, but will need a top five or two to solidify a Chase berth. Retzlaff lost 12 points to the cut line this week. 

11. William Sawalich (+16)

Sawalich lost a whopping 26 points on Saturday after finishing 21st. Missing the Chase would be a massive disappointment for the second-year driver who had so much speed at the start of the 2026 campaign. 

12. Brent Crews (+3)

Even after missing four races early in the year, Crews is back above the cut line after another runner-up finish to Allgaier Saturday at Pocono. He gained 18 points on the cut line. 

13. Taylor Gray (-3)

Gray won Stage 1 and was in position to potentially battle for the win on Saturday before a pit road penalty set him back. He clawed his way to a 17th-place finish but lost 15 points and fell out of the 12th and final Chase spot. 

14. Rajah Caruth (-8)

Caruth snagged a few stage points and a seventh-place finish behind the wheel of the No. 32 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet on Saturday, gaining four points on the cut line. He'll be back in the JRM No. 88 at Naval Base Coronado and Sonoma. 

15. Ryan Sieg (-37)

Sieg lost 22 points to the cut line with a 26th-place finish on Saturday. He needs good finishes at Naval Base Coronado and Sonoma to stay within striking distance of 12th. 

16. Brennan Poole (-104)

Poole's Chase hopes seem to be all but gone, even after a decent 18th-place finish at Pocono. He's done more with less all season but would need a miraculous seven-race stretch to make the postseason. 

17. Anthony Alfredo (-113(

18. Dean Thompson (-126)

19. Jeremy Clements (-148)

20. Jeb Burton (-170)
