NASCAR Truck Series Nashville lineup, TV schedule for Friday's race

Layne Riggs Awarded Pole for Allegiance 200 After Rain Cancels Qualifying at Nashville Superspeedway Layne Riggs will start from the pole for the Allegiance 200 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Nashville Superspeedway on Friday, May 29, after rain prevented completion of the scheduled qualifying session. The decision places Kaden Honeycutt second and Jesse Love third on the grid for the 150-lap race on the 1.33-mile concrete oval.

Weather Forces Points-Based Starting Order

Persistent rainfall on Thursday halted the qualifying session before it could finish. NASCAR officials applied the standard procedure that awards the pole position according to the driver points standings entering the event. Series officials confirmed this outcome in a statement released Thursday evening. The rule set ensures an orderly grid when weather interrupts the normal process.

Front-Runners Set for Allegiance 200

Riggs will lead the field in the No. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford. Honeycutt follows in the No. 45 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet. Jesse Love, who competes primarily in the Xfinity Series, takes a one-off start in the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet. Rajah Caruth, the defending series champion, is entered in the No. 24 GMS Racing Chevrolet. Other full-time competitors including Corey Heim, Ty Majeski, and Grant Enfinger are also on the 40-truck entry list.

Television and Radio Coverage Details

Pre-race programming begins at 7:30 p.m. ET on FS1, with the green flag scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Radio coverage will be carried on PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. International viewers can follow the event through established streaming partners.

Nashville Superspeedway Returns to Annual Schedule

Nashville Superspeedway reopened for NASCAR competition in 2021 after a period of inactivity. The venue has hosted Truck Series events each year since its return. Its high-banked concrete surface typically produces multi-groove racing that rewards different lines and strategies. The field now prepares for Friday evening’s 150-lap contest under the revised starting order.
