NASCAR Truck Series playoff grid: Drivers who advance to Round of 10

The 16-race NASCAR Truck Series regular season came to an end with the conclusion of Saturday’s (August 10) Clean Harbors 250 at Richmond Raceway, where Ty Majeski secured his second win of the season.

The result of the final race of the regular season sets the 10 drivers on the playoff grid who will fight against each other for the prestigious 2024 NASCAR Truck Series championship.

Seven of the 10 playoff positions were already decided. With no new winner from below the cut-off line at Richmond Raceway, Tanner Gray was cut out of the race of playoffs, and the last spot was snatched by Daniel Dye, after finishing P8 in the regular season finale. The other two spots were secured by Taylor Gray and Ben Rhodes.

Dye, who finished 12 points ahead of Gray in the final regular-season standings, spoke about qualifying for the playoffs and said (via Fox Sports 1):

“It's really good to validate myself and the work that I've been putting in to change up what I've been doing. It's so cool to have our No. 43 (truck) in the playoffs. I'm whooped! It wasn't easy. It's not an easy track. Just proud of everybody. Everybody has been working so hard to keep me under control and not too freaked out. Man, proud to be here.”

The potential truck drivers who missed the playoffs this season are Tanner Gray, Stewart Friesen, Matt Crafton, Chase Purdy, and Ty Dillon.
