The Blue Cross NC 300 on October 11, 2026 went to Corey Day, who passed three-wide for the lead with 10 laps to go at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina.
How it was won
Rain from the remnants of Hurricane Isaias wiped out all Saturday track activity, so the race moved from its Saturday 4 p.m. slot to 8 p.m. Sunday, after the Cup race, and the lineup was set by the rulebook. Carson Kvapil started on the pole with Day beside him. Day won Stage 1 but was then penalized for driving through too many pit boxes and had to come back through the field. With 10 laps left he went beneath Jesse Love’s No. 2 Chevrolet and Justin Allgaier’s No. 7 on the backstretch to take the lead, then held off Love to win by 0.728 seconds. Sheldon Creed passed Allgaier on the last lap for third.
