What the NASCAR Truck Series Chase bubble looks like after Nashville

Following Layne Riggs' series-leading third win of the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season at Nashville Superspeedway on Friday, there are only seven races remaining in the Truck Series regular season. 

Here's what the Chase bubble looks like after 11 races in 2026:

1. Layne Riggs (+210)

2. Kaden Honeycutt (+173)

3. Christian Eckes (+117)

4. Chandler Smith (+114)

5. Gio Ruggiero (+104)

6. Ty Majeski (+61)

7. Ben Rhodes (+52)

Rhodes lost a spot and seven points to the bubble this week after finishing 28th at Nashville. Nine combined stage points between Stages 1 and 2 of Friday's race kept the damage from being as bad as it could've been. 

8. Tyler Ankrum (+8)

As has been the case over the last several weeks, eighth is where the bubble tightens up. Ankrum actually gained seven points and two spots on the bubble with a strong fifth-place run on Friday that was much-needed for his No. 18 team. 

9. Stewart Friesen (+6)

Friesen was frustrated with his truck early in Friday's race but rallied to finish sixth. He also gained seven points and two spots on the cut line this week, jumping from 11th to ninth in the standings. 

10. Daniel Hemric (+6)

Hemric fell one spot this week and is now firmly on the bubble after finishing 15th at Nashville. That's not a bad result, but not one he can afford to replicate over the next seven races if he is to make the Chase. 

11. Jake Garcia (-6)

If not for a crash that relegated him to a 32nd-place finish, Garcia would likely be on the right side of the cut line again this week. However, he fell three spots and lost a staggering 24 points to the bubble at Nashville in a race he'd soon like to forget. 

12. Grant Enfinger (-26)

Enfinger and the No. 9 team have been noticeably lacking the speed they had in 2024 and 2025, but it showed up Friday at Nashville. Enfinger wheeled his No. 9 Chevrolet to a seventh-place finish, gaining six points and three spots on the bubble with his third top 10 of the year. 

13. Justin Haley (-33)

Haley lost 24 points to the bubble this week with a 31st-place finish at Nashville. That's exactly the opposite of what the No. 16 team needed as it tries to sneak into the postseason in RAM's first year back in NASCAR.

14. Brenden Queen (-35)

Haley's RAM/Kaulig teammate in Queen didn't fare much better on Friday, finishing 19th and losing 12 points to the bubble. He'll need a good run at Michigan next week to right the ship. 

15. Andres Perez (-47)

16. Tanner Gray (-52)

17. Dawson Sutton (-69) 

18. Mini Tyrrell (-96)

19. Cole Butcher (-103)

20. Kris Wright (-117)
