The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series rolls into Brownsburg, Indiana, this weekend for the TSport 200 at the Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. Known for its tight racing and steep history, the 0.686-mile oval will once again challenge drivers with a short track layout that demands precision and grit. With qualifying split into two groups and one timed round on Friday, starting position could mean everything under the lights in the 200-lap contest. The field is set. The pressure is on.

A Short Track with Long Memories
Opened in 1960, Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park is no stranger to drama. The tight 0.686-mile oval has hosted some of the most intense moments in Truck Series history. Its narrow surface and multiple racing grooves allow for side-by-side racing, but any mistake can cost multiple positions—or worse, end a night early. That’s what makes qualifying here critical.
With just one round of qualifying on Friday afternoon, divided into two groups, drivers will have 20 minutes to lay down their best lap. For most, that means minimal room for error. Track position will be vital, especially given how hard it is to work through traffic on a track this compact. All 35 drivers are aiming to avoid mid-pack mayhem and chase clean air from the opening green.
The Full Qualifying Breakdown
Renowned NASCAR reporter Bob Pockrass revealed the official qualifying order for the TSport 200. The lineup is determined by a performance metric combining 70% previous race owner finish and 30% current owner points. Greg Van Alst will lead Group A onto the track, while Connor Mosack opens the session for Group B.

14 | 17 | Gio Ruggiero |
15 | 38 | Chandler Smith |
16 | 98 | Ty Majeski |
17 | 11 | Corey Heim |
Each group will get their 20-minute window on track, and the fastest driver across both will earn the pole position. Unlike superspeedways or road courses, where multiple laps give drivers margin, the rhythm of short-track qualifying at IRP leaves no room for mistakes.
Eyes on Majeski and Chasers
Ty Majeski enters this weekend not only as the defending race winner but also as one of the drivers to beat in 2025. With Lucas Oil IRP being a track where experience pays off, Majeski’s previous success and smooth driving style could put him in prime position to repeat.
But he won’t have it easy. Young stars like Corey Heim, Connor Mosack, and Chandler Smith are poised to challenge, each bringing speed and composure that has defined this season. Veterans like Matt Crafton, Stewart Friesen, and Grant Enfinger round out a field that blends youth with hardened skill.
Ross Chastain, making one of his few Truck Series starts this year, adds another wrinkle. Known for his aggressive style, Chastain could push the pace in qualifying and be a serious contender if he finds clean air early in the main event.
