The 2026 NASCAR Truck Series is set to return to Nashville Superspeedway in May, marking a key date on the circuit’s schedule.
Pole position claimed amid weather disruption
Layne Riggs captured the pole for the 2026 Allegiance 200, earning the top spot on the grid. He will be joined on the front row by Kaden Honeycutt, while Jesse Love and Gio Ruggiero will line up behind them on the second row.
A reshuffled grid
Because qualifying was canceled due to inclement weather, the starting order will be determined by a combination of owner points and performance metrics. As a result, Front Row Motorsports will lead the starting lineup, with the rest of the 34‑car field arranged accordingly.
Notable competitors such as Ross Chastain, Chandler Smith, Stewart Friesen, Rajah Caruth, Frankie Muniz, Ty Majeski and Brenden Queen are slated to start 20th or worse, a positioning that could influence their race strategy.
Missing competitors
Toni Breidinger and Jonathan Shafer will not take part in the event, leaving the field without two of the series’ emerging talents.
Despite the altered grid, the race promises competitive action as teams and drivers adapt to the new circumstances, with fans eagerly anticipating Friday night’s on‑track battles.
