Texas Motor Speedway may only be on the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series schedule once, but it marks the start of three consecutive points-paying races on 1.5-mile ovals.
Sunday's race, the Wurth 400 presented by Liqui Moly, is scheduled to be a 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer), and it is set to precede races at Kansas Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway later this month.
After a break from the usual qualifying format this past weekend at Talladega Superspeedway, where there were two rounds to decide the polesitter, the regular format is set to be back in action this weekend at Texas.
The qualifying order was determined by the new two-variable metric which NASCAR introduced ahead of the 2025 season. A full breakdown of that formula, which is much more straightforward than the four-variable formula used from 2020 to 2024, can be found here.
All 38 drivers on the entry list are set to qualify in reverse metric order. Each driver is set to make a single-lap qualifying attempt in Saturday's single-car qualifying session, and those speeds are set to determine the full starting order; there is no second round shootout for the pole position.
Here is the full qualifying order for the Wurth 400 presented by Liqui Moly at Texas Motor Speedway.
