Carson Kvapil Wins Pennzoil 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
JR Motorsports driver Carson Kvapil captured his first career NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series win Saturday at the Pennzoil 250, taking the checkered flag at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Kvapil started the 100-lap race in second position and led 23 laps en route to the milestone victory, kissing the bricks in celebration alongside his crew afterward.
The win carries added significance given Kvapil’s longtime relationship with JR Motorsports co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., who has worked closely with the young driver throughout his development.
Justin Allgaier finished second, while Ross Chastain rounded out the podium in third after leading a race-high 31 laps the most of any driver in the field. Sheldon Creed started from the pole position but was unable to convert the front-row start into a win.
