New Hampshire Motor Speedway will welcome the Craftsman Truck Series back for the first time in eight years with practice and qualifying Friday.
It’ll mark the series’ first race weekend at NHMS since Sept. 2017. Christopher Bell won the most recent Truck race at the 1.058-mile oval, which will play host to its 21st Truck Series race Saturday.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour also will be practicing and qualifying Friday at the “Magic Mile.” Cup Series haulers will enter the infield Friday afternoon, but the garage for NASCAR’s premier series will open Saturday.
Joe Gibbs Racing has dominated the playoffs and its drivers will be among the favorites this weekend.
