Grid briefing

Ty Majeski leads the Love's RV Stop 225 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 Talladega Superspeedway

Talladega's 2.66-mile tri-oval is a pure drafting problem where huge packs create rapid lead changes and multi-car risk.

Love's RV Stop 225 grid watch

Shorter Truck races make every restart, pit call and lost position more expensive. Follow manufacturer lines, fuel saving and the moment cooperation ends. 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 5 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.
