Corey Heim won at Daytona in February, for example, whilst later that month, Cup Series star Kyle Busch won at Atlanta. Then, in March, Corey Heim won again at Las Vegas, whilst another Cup Series star in Kyle Larson took the win at Homestead a week later. Last time out at Martinsville, Daniel Hemric was the victor.

Any Truck Series stars hoping to add their name to the 2025 win list will have their work cut out this weekend, though, with Larson set to get behind the wheel of the No. 07 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy truck once again as he attempts a Bristol sweep across all three national NASCAR series.

Chandler Smith sits third and 36 points behind the championship leader, with Daniel Hemric and Stewart Friesen rounding out the top five ahead of this weekend's action.

With that said, let's take a look at all of the details you need ahead of today's qualifying action.

How does NASCAR Truck Series qualifying work?

With Bristol Motor Speedway being just 0.533 miles long, short-track practice and qualifying procedure is in effect this weekend. This means that trucks will be split into two groups for a 50-minute practice session, 25 minutes for each group, which is then followed by qualifying.

Today's qualifying session will consist of one round, with each driver getting two laps to set their best time.

As per NASCAR, the qualifying order for today's session has been determined via a metric that combines the previous race finish by the owner (70%) and the current owner points position (30%).

Below, we've got today's qualifying order in full.
