After a three-week hiatus, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns to action to challenge the intermediate banks of Darlington Raceway on Friday (7:30 p.m. ET, FS1, NASCAR Racing Network Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
The 1.36-mile South Carolina track will be the fourth race of the Truck Series season. Three separate drivers have won the opening three contests: Chandler Smith at Daytona International Speedway, Kyle Busch at EchoPark Speedway and Layne Riggs at St. Petersburg. To add to the entertainment, the 2026 rendition of the Triple Truck Challenge will begin this week, with two more races — Rockingham Speedway on April 3 and Bristol Motor Speedway on April 10 — making up the remaining portions of this year’s program.
