New Qualifying Rules for Trucks

By @GucciardoJoey

NASCAR has announced a new qualifying format for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Here's how it will work:

• Two rounds of qualifying, with the top-12 fastest eligible trucks advancing to the final round;

• Trucks taking one timed lap in each round of qualifying;

• Each truck will be released in a predetermined timed interval as determined by NASCAR, with the sanctioning body reserving the right to have more than one vehicle engaging in qualifying runs at the same time;

• Qualifying order for the first round will be determined based on slowest to fastest single lap speeds posted in the first practice session; final round qualifying order is determined by slowest to fastest speeds from the first round;

• A 10-minute break will occur between the first qualifying round and the final round;

• Upon completion of the first qualifying round, the field will be set with positions 13 and beyond determined from first round qualifying speed;

• The 12 fastest vehicles from the first round will have their speeds reset for the final round with starting positions 1-12 determined by the fastest laps in the final round.
