1986 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series
Champion: Larry Pearson
Driver standings
Brett Bodine led on points, but the 1986 title went to Larry Pearson. Championships in this era were not decided by the points table alone (playoff/chase formats, dropped scores, or a different points system), so the standings order below is not the championship order.
