Grid briefing

Kyle Larson leads the Bank of America 400 starting lineup

How the front row was set

The starting order below is supplied by NASCAR. Cars sent to the rear can keep their listed starting position for scoring; check the race-day notes below.

What track position means at Charlotte Motor Speedway

The Charlotte Roval combines speedway banking, an infield road course and tight chicanes where braking and curb strikes create mistakes.

Bank of America 400 grid watch

Cup teams must balance stage points with the setup and track position needed for the final run. Watch wheel lockup, chicane penalties and teams trading stage points for track position. The 2026 Chase has no eliminations, but every point carries to the finale after the one-time reseed. For this event, the season role is Cup Chase race 6 of 10.

Starting-order facts checked against NASCAR official race data. A post-qualifying inspection or unapproved adjustment can still send a car to the rear without changing its scored starting position.
