NASCAR Truck Series Starting Line-Up for Bristol Dirt Race on Monday After Rain Cancels Qualifying

For the first time this season, the NASCAR series had a qualifying session. Up until then, the spot has been relying on a special formula to decide the grid slots. However on this occasion, the drivers took part in heat races to decide the grid. However, everything got interrupted when the rain fell and forced its cancellation.

Nevertheless, they still managed to set up a grid for the race. So, John Hunter Nemechek heads the pack, with Austin Hill alongside him on the front row. Sheldon Creed and Matt Crafton share the second row on the grid, ahead of Johnny Sauter and Zane Smith.

Stewart Friesen and Grant Enfinger line up on the eighth row. Finally, Ben Rhodes and Brett Moffitt complete the Top 10. Carson Hocevar, Derek Kraus, Todd Gilliland, Ryan Truex, Martin Truex Jr and Parker Kligerman complete the Top 16. Additionally, Austin Wayne Self and Tanner Gray line up in 17th and 18th, with Tyler Ankrum and Codie Rohrbaugh in 19th and 20th.

How does the rest of the NASCAR Truck Series grid line up?

On Row 11, Chandler Smith starts ahead of Hailie Deegan. Chase Purdy and Tate Fogleman line up behind the two in an all-Chevrolet 12th row.
