Grid briefing

Jake Garcia leads the NASCAR Truck Series at Atlanta starting lineup

How the front row was set

Jake Garcia and Ben Rhodes put two ThorSport Fords on the Atlanta front row. The scored order held 36 trucks for a race delayed by track drying and shortened by 10 laps because of the day's weather timetable.

What track position means at Atlanta Motor Speedway

Modern Atlanta combines steep banking with a narrow drafting-style layout, so pack awareness and a stable long-run balance both matter.

NASCAR Truck Series at Atlanta grid watch

Kyle Busch started third and won, leading a Spire Motorsports 1-2 with Carson Hocevar after the drafting race finally went green.

Starting-order facts checked against NASCAR Atlanta weather and results report. A post-qualifying inspection or unapproved adjustment can still send a car to the rear without changing its scored starting position.
