The 2026 Oil Workers 150 presented by the West Coast Stock Car Motorsports Hall of Fame was an ARCA Menards Series West race held on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, California. Contested over 167 laps—extended from 150 laps due to a double overtime finish on the 0.500 miles (0.805 km) short track, it was first race of the 2026 ARCA Menards Series West season, and the tenth running of the event.
Mason Massey, driving for Bill McAnally Racing, took over the lead in the late stages over a dominating Sean Hingorani, and led the final 31 laps while surviving two overtime restarts to earn his first career ARCA Menards Series West win in his first career start. Hingorani led a race-high 136 laps from second position before falling to fifth on the final restart. Eric Nascimento finished second, and Taylor Mayhew finished third. Trevor Huddleston and Hingorani rounded out the top five, while Hailie Deegan, Joey Iest, Jade Avedisian, Gavin Ray, and Cole Denton rounded out the top ten.
