Qualifying Results

A quadrant of two-time winners in 2026! Markell Murphy, Dakota Wilkins, Ryan Heuser and Johnny Reed Foley dominate the year, making the Beatles stand second-fiddle to Extravagnza's new "Fab Four". Murphy started his dominance streak in last year's Mello Yello 500, finishing top-half of the field in 13-straight events. Wilkins earned his fourth ninth-place finish in 2026, leading the league in top-10's and only 64-points behind Murphy in the standings. Foley attempts a longshot third-straight victory, failing to record a top-15 finish at Bristol since 2022. "The gas pedal melted my wing-tipped shoe" exclaimed Foley, referring to last year's scorching event, finishing 3 laps down in 22nd. Hopefully he will have better luck today.

Dakota Wilkins attempts his third Bristol victory in the last four events! The #77 Colorado Rockies Chevrolet attains complete dominion over the Sharpie 500 night race in September, hoping to transfer his moonlight talents into the sun. They enter the Food City 500 just 64-points behind leader Markell Murphy. Miracle-man Logan Sheets earns his third pole of 2026, hoping to extend his top-20 streak to nine! Hometown hero Michael Henson, Ken Joynt and Steve Inkman pulled off miracle qualifying times, with John Tharp praying to earn his first top-10 finish after starting in the third position. Race-day favorite John Battista bids for his league-leading fifth top-5 of the year, with last year's winner Chauncey Redmond Jr. hoping to earn his third career victory.
