2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Chase Grid Established
The 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Chase grid has been finalized following the race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. A total of ten drivers will compete for the championship in the upcoming seven races.
Layne Riggs, who secured his sixth win of the season at New Hampshire, will start the Chase as the top seed. The Chase format has changed, moving away from the previous 'win and you're in' system, with drivers now advancing based on points accumulated over the regular season.
Points will reset for the Chase, with bonus points awarded according to regular season standings. Tyler Ankrum clinched the final spot in the Chase, edging out Stewart Friesen by just seven points in a double overtime finish.
