Ty Majeski also beat the previous Truck Series lap record but came up short to the best to ever do it in the series. He will start second for the second straight week.

Tricon Garage teammates, Gio Ruggiero and last weeks first-time winner Kaden Honeycutt, will start alongside each other in the second row.

Christopher Bell makes his return to the series to start fifth. Brandon Jones also comes down from a higher-leveled series to start sixth.

Jake Garcia will start seventh. Ross Chastain will start eighth after his Truck Series weekend fell completely apart late last week at The Glen.

Andres Perez ualified right behind his Niece Motorsports teammate in ninth. Daniel Hemric will be the highest starting MHR Silverado in tenth.

Carson Hocevar is the only other Cup Series regular in the field. He will start 18th.

36 entrants competed for 36 starting spots and therefore, no trucks went home.

This is the first race to feature three female drivers since Nashville in 2021 in the series. Natalie Decker will make her second consecutive series start in 33rd and Toni Breidinger makes the field in 32nd after her failed qualifying attempt last weekend.

Finally, Dystany Spurlock will make her series debut after missing out last week as well.
