Grid briefing

Tristan McKee leads the Black's Tire 200 presented by Down East Heating & Air Conditioning 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 Martinsville Speedway

Martinsville's flat paperclip repeatedly tests brakes, center rotation and rear-tire traction in close traffic.

Black's Tire 200 presented by Down East Heating & Air Conditioning grid watch

Shorter Truck races make every restart, pit call and lost position more expensive. Watch brake conservation, drive off and whether a bump-and-run creates the decisive opening. 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 Truck Chase race 6 of 7.

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.
