Grid briefing

Layne Riggs leads the NASCAR Truck Series at Phoenix 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 Phoenix Raceway

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

NASCAR Truck Series at Phoenix grid watch

Shorter Truck races make every restart, pit call and lost position more expensive. Watch the dogleg fan-out, apron cuts and the tradeoff between short-run launch and rear grip. 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 4 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.
