Unlike a week ago at Talladega Superspeedway, when NASCAR Cup Series qualifying ended up being canceled due to rain, all of the drivers on the entry list for this Sunday afternoon's Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway are set to qualify, with no DNQs.
There are 38 drivers on the entry list, including 36 in their usual full-time chartered entries and two others in non-chartered (open) cars.
Each driver is set to make a single-lap qualifying attempt around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Fort Worth, Texas oval, and those speeds are set to determine the full 38-car starting lineup; there is no second round like there is on superspeedways.
The full qualifying order was determined using NASCAR's qualifying metric, which can be found in more detail here. This metric, a modified version of the one used from 2020 to 2024, was introduced in 2025 and factors in each car's result in the most recent race, as well as each car's position in the owner standings.
Follow along with our Wurth 400 qualifying udpates from Texas.
