The official 2026 NASCAR Truck Chase grid has been determined following the reset of points after the recent race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The Chase format, which previously required winning and entry, has been replaced by a simple advancement based on the top 10 drivers with the most points after 18 races. Ten drivers are now set to compete in the Chase, with each driver starting the seven remaining races with a reset of their points total.
However, bonus points will be awarded to drivers according to their performance at the end of the regular season. The driver who accumulates the most points by the time the season concludes in November will be declared the champion. Layne Riggs, who secured his sixth win of the season at New Hampshire, will enter the Chase as the top seed with 2100 points.
In a close battle for the final spot, Tyler Ankrum edged out Stewart Friesen by just seven points, secured after a tense double overtime. The full grid of drivers and their respective teams, along with their points after the reset, is as follows: 1. Layne Riggs from Front Row Motorsports with 2100 points, 2. Kaden Honeycutt from TRICON Garage with 2075 points, 3.
