Official Line-Up Set 78th Little 500 at Anderson Speedway

The starting lineup for the 78th Annual Unified Group Services Little 500 Presented By ED Martin Automotive Sales has officially been set.

Bump Day saw just two drivers hit the track to establish a new qualifying time.  David Goodwill improved his starting position to 28th, while Colin Grissom jumped up to 23rd on the starting grid after his run.

Meanwhile, teams had one final opportunity to take to the track for practice Friday morning ahead of the Little 500.  18 of the 34 drivers made at least one lap in practice, with Mario Clouser setting fast time with an 11.093.  Kody Swanson, Rylan Gray, David Goodwill and Landon Butler rounded out the top-five.

The full starting lineup can be found below.

All that’s left to do now is crown the 2026 Little 500 champion.  Front gates open at 3:00, the same time as the public driver’s meeting.  Pre-race activities begin at 7:00, with the green flag set to fly at 8:00.
