Parker Retzlaff nears Chase spot at Daytona in 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Series

Parker Retzlaff is close to securing a spot in the Chase during the 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Series season. Entering the regular-season finale at Daytona International Speedway, he sits ninth in the standings with a 46-point cushion over the Chase cutline. Though not completely safe from elimination, Retzlaff has a substantial lead. Maximizing performance at Daytona is critical, especially with the risk of other drivers below the cutline potentially winning the race. If Retzlaff can maintain his position, it would complete a surprising season for him and the No. 99 team.
