The 2026 Andy's Frozen Custard 340 is an upcoming NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race that will be held on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Contested over 200 laps on the 1.5 mile (2.4 km) intermediate quad-oval, it will be the twelfth race of the 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series season, and the 22nd running of the event.
This will be the last of four races for the Dash 4 Cash program.[5] The drivers eligible for the D4C are Corey Day, Brent Crews, Sheldon Creed, and Sammy Smith, since they were the highest finishing O'Reilly Series regulars following the race at Talladega.[6] This is also the first O'Reilly Series race without a Ford in the field since the Winston Classic in 1991.[7]
Background
Texas Motor Speedway is a speedway located in the northernmost portion of the U.S. city of Fort Worth, Texas – the portion located in Denton County, Texas. The track measures 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around and is banked 24 degrees in the turns, and is of the oval design, where the front straightaway juts outward slightly. The track layout is similar to Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway (formerly Lowe's Motor Speedway). The track is owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc., the same company that owns Atlanta and Charlotte Motor Speedway, as well as the short-track Bristol Motor Speedway.
Andy's Frozen Custard would celebrate their 40th anniversary, in which they changed the name from 300 to 340, the race distance would remain at 300 miles,[8] similar to the 2021 Andy's Frozen Custard 335, in which they celebrated their 35th anniversary.
