New York Sports Show O'Reilly Series Car To Be Featured In NASCAR 26
The Podcast Will Appear on Chad Finchum’s Joey Gase Motorsports O’Reilly Series Entry
WEST HAVEN, CT — September 9, 2026 — The New York Sports Show today announced that its branding will be featured in NASCAR 26, the upcoming official NASCAR video game scheduled for its Gold Edition release on September 15, 2026, and later wide release on September 18th.
The New York Sports Show will be represented within the game through Chad Finchum’s O’Reilly Series paint scheme, which featured New York Sports Show branding during the 2026 Bennett Transportation & Logistics 250 at EchoPark Speedway (formally known as Atlanta Speedway). Finchum drove the entry for Joey Gase Motorsports, where he recorded a 17th-place finish after starting 37th in what was his first race at the newly re-done track with no-prior practice besides a single qualifying lap to the race. The +20 spots made during the race marks one of the best career performences for the Tennesse driver.
The inclusion marks a significant expansion of the New York Sports Show brand into the NASCAR gaming and entertainment space. Through its appearance on Finchum’s O'Reilly Series stock car in NASCAR 26, the New York Sports Show will be represented in a licensed NASCAR racing environment accessible to fans and players around the world, something that only a handful of sport medias have ever done. This feat also is marking the first-time that a West Haven, Connecticut, based company is being featured in a sports game or a video game of any genre.
For New York Sports Show founder Dominic Konareski, the appearance represents one of the biggest milestones in the continued development of the brand.
“The New York Sports Show being featured in NASCAR 26 is an incredible milestone that marks years of non-stop work,” said Konareski. “What started as a sports podcast to help me bond with my grandfather has continued into a lifelong passion of mine, whcih has seen it expand into one of the most recognizable New York sport news medias.
Konareski also add that seeing the New York Sports Show reach this point is a showcase of what occurs when you follow your dreams.
Konareski also spoke on the podcast’s sponsorship of Chad Finchum, “The NYSS is proud to have been part of Chad Finchum’s O’Reilly Series program, and what was his Cup Series program for the Clash earlier this season, which altogether has allowed the partnership to continue through NASCAR 26.”
NASCAR 26 is scheduled to launch September 15, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, and PC.
