Grid briefing

Taylor Gray leads the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series at Phoenix starting lineup

How the front row was set

Taylor Gray earned the Phoenix pole at 130.743 mph, the fourth O'Reilly pole of his career, and defending series champion Jesse Love started second.

What track position means at Phoenix Raceway

Phoenix is a one-mile oval with different corner shapes and a wide dogleg that lets drivers choose unconventional restart lines.

NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series at Phoenix grid watch

Justin Allgaier had to come from P17 to win on a late restart, so the completed-race view highlights a midfield charge rather than implying the front row controlled the finish.

Starting-order facts checked against Jayski Phoenix O'Reilly race page. A post-qualifying inspection or unapproved adjustment can still send a car to the rear without changing its scored starting position.
