Grid briefing

Ty Majeski leads the NASCAR Truck Series at Daytona starting lineup

How the front row was set

Ty Majeski earned the scored P1 for the 36-truck Daytona opener, with Michael McDowell alongside. The field also marked Ram's national-series return, with its protected early-season entries assigned positions behind the speed qualifiers when necessary.

What track position means at Daytona International Speedway

Daytona's high-banked 2.5-mile tri-oval creates large drafting packs; drivers need lane momentum, partners and precise timing for the final block or pass.

NASCAR Truck Series at Daytona grid watch

The drafting order changed completely by the finish: Chandler Smith won from P10 after a four-wide overtime move through the tri-oval.

Starting-order facts checked against NASCAR 2026 Daytona Speedweeks results hub. A post-qualifying inspection or unapproved adjustment can still send a car to the rear without changing its scored starting position.
