The 2026 NASCAR Truck Series hits Texas Motor Speedway today, Friday, May 1, and we've got all of the timing, scheduling and TV details you need to know ahead of the action.
It's set to be a busy day for the Truck Series stars, with practice, qualifying and the race all being squeezed into one day, culminating in tonight's SpeedyCash.com 250.
The race is set to see the Truck drivers complete 167 laps around the 1.5-mile track in Fort Worth, covering a total distance of 250.5 miles.
Last year's Truck Series race winner at Texas was reigning champion Corey Heim, but he isn't full-time in the series anymore, and will not be racing on Friday.
One man who will be, though, is two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, stepping into the No. 7 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports - the truck he won in at Atlanta earlier this year.
Last week's Cup Series race winner Carson Hocevar is also in action. He'll also be driving for Spire Motorsports in the No. 77 Chevrolet.
With that said, let's get into some more important details below.
