Sheldon Creed carries momentum into Rockingham after strong start

Sheldon Creed is carrying momentum into the NASCAR O'Reilly Series race at Rockingham Speedway. After earning his first career O'Reilly Series win at EchoPark Speedway in February, Creed has responded with four top-7 finishes in the last five races, with a worst effort of 11th place at Circuit of the Americas. The Haas Factory Team driver has showed up in a big way after not having the necessary speed in 2025.

Creed has finally become a consistent threat upfront and winning a race was massive for his confidence. After all, the only chatter with the driver of the No. 00 car before was how he hadn't won a race at the NASCAR level.

Now, Creed is focused on building upon his success to start the 2026 NASCAR season. Creed sits third in thee standings only behind Justin Allgaier and Jesse Love, but there are several drivers on his tail. Creed should continue to be fast on a weekly basis, and a win could come at anytime again.
