Qualifying and Starting Lineup
The NASCAR Canada Series CTMP 2 will employ group qualifying in the road‑race style to determine the first 21 positions on the starting grid.
Provisional positions 22 through 25 are awarded to the top four car owners in the 2026 championship point standings who failed to make the qualifying cut, while position 26 is reserved for a past series champion who did not qualify, or the next eligible driver if the champion is unavailable.
Tire Regulations and Race Logistics
Pit stops during the race are non‑competitive; teams may adjust fuel or tires but are limited to two tire changes per stop.
Before the event, each team must deliver four qualifying/race tires and four change tires to NASCAR officials, and every team must have a set of four wet‑condition tires mounted in the pit stall.
The overall tire allotment for the weekend is capped at seven tires—one for practice, four for the qualifying and race start, and two additional tires for race use.
First‑time road‑course participants may purchase four extra practice tires, expanding their total tire count to ten for the event.
