The Round of 8 includes races at Kansas, Texas and Martinsville. This round will set the field for the championship race. The title race will be Nov. 6 at Phoenix Raceway.
The Kansas Truck starting lineup is set by using a formula based on four statistical categories: owner points position, owner final race position, the finish and fastest lap from the most recently completed race.
Performance Metrics Qualifying is a total number based on the previous race. The formula is 15% of a fastest lap time position, 25% of the driver’s final race finish position, 25% of the owner’s final race position and 35% of the owner points position. Any ties will be broken by the rule book.
