NASCAR: 2024 Texas qualifying updates, full starting lineup

From 2005 to 2020, Texas Motor Speedway hosted one NASCAR Cup Series regular season race and one playoff race. In 2021 and 2022, the track still hosted two races, but the first was the All-Star Race; the other was still a playoff race. In 2023, the track only hosted a playoff race.

Now the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Fort Worth, Texas oval is back on the regular season schedule for its lone race date of the year. For the first time since 2004, Texas Motor Speedway will not host a playoff race in 2024.

Sunday's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 is scheduled to be a 267-lap race. Because the track is not considered a superspeedway, group qualifying is set to be used. In the single-car session, each driver is set to get one timed lap, with the top five drivers in each group advancing to the second round shootout for the pole position.

The groups are determined based on the qualifying metric that NASCAR introduced four years ago, a metric that was initially used to set full starting lineups in the absence of qualifying. A more detailed explanation on that formula can be found here.

All drivers from the first group who do not advance are set to line up on the outside row, while all drivers from the second group who do not advance are set to line up on the inside row, a slight change from last season.
