The 2026 Andy's Frozen Custard 340 was a NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race 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 was the twelfth race of the 2026 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series season, and the 22nd running of the event.
Kyle Larson, driving for JR Motorsports, survived a late restart and held off a fast charging Justin Allgaier in the final laps to earn his 19th career NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series win, and his second of the season. Larson also dominated the majority of the race, leading a race-high 93 laps. Allgaier finished second, and Sam Mayer finished third. Brent Crews and Parker Retzlaff rounded out the top five, while Sheldon Creed, Austin Hill, Brandon Jones, Jesse Love, and Jeremy Clements rounded out the top ten.
This was the last of four races for the Dash 4 Cash program. The drivers eligible for the D4C were Corey Day, Brent Crews, Sheldon Creed, and Sammy Smith, since they were the highest finishing O'Reilly Series regulars following the race at Talladega. Crews finished in fourth and claimed the $100,000 bonus.
This is also the first O'Reilly Series race without a Ford in the field since the Winston Classic in 1991.
