Creed grabs O’Reilly Series points lead as Allgaier holds No. 1 seed ahead of Bristol’s Food City 300

Bristol Motor Speedway reported that Sheldon Creed (No. 00, Haas Factory Team) grabbed the points lead in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, while Justin Allgaier led the points throughout the regular season and locked up the No. 1 seed for The Chase with three races remaining. The track’s preview promotes the Food City 300 on Friday as part of Bass Pro Shops Night Race weekend (Sept. 17–19) and lists the weekend schedule: Thursday ARCA Bush’s Beans 200 and UNOH 250 (Truck), Friday Nobody Trashes Tennessee qualifying and the Food City 300, and Saturday’s 500-lap Bass Pro Shops Night Race.

The preview cites Allgaier’s Bristol record (two wins, 13 top fives), quotes Creed thanking sponsors and saying the team is fast, and identifies others to watch including Jesse Love and Austin Hill. It names drivers Carson Kvapil (No. 1, JR Motorsports), Corey Day (No. 17, Hendrick Motorsports) and notes Sam Mayer’s multi-time Bristol ARCA and Truck wins. The page includes a green-flag time listing alongside a ‘RACE TIME STILL TBD’ notice and promotes event features such as Brad Pitt as grand marshal and Josef Newgarden as honorary pace-car driver for Sept. 19, plus Lee Greenwood performing with a bald eagle and a two C-130 flyover. Ticket information is provided on the track website and by phone.
