NASCAR has released the qualifying order for the Craftsman Truck Series playoff race at Martinsville Speedway, scheduled for October 30, 2026. The session determines starting positions for a critical round in the 2026 Truck Series Chase.
Martinsville's half-mile paperclip layout traditionally places high importance on track position, making qualifying particularly significant for championship contenders. The short track's tight confines and limited passing opportunities mean starting near the front can be a decisive advantage in the playoff elimination format.
The qualifying session follows NASCAR's standard group format, with drivers taking timed laps to establish the grid for the playoff event. Results will directly impact championship standings as the field competes for advancement in the postseason.
