Charlotte Motor Speedway is preparing for a busy Friday with two national NASCAR series on track. The Craftsman Truck Series teams will be practicing, qualifying, and racing, while Xfinity Series teams will also be practicing and qualifying for their race on Saturday afternoon. Additionally, ARCA Menards Series teams will be at Charlotte for practice, qualifying, and a 100-lap race.
The defending winner of the Charlotte Truck race is Ben Rhodes, who is currently ninth in the Truck standings as he looks to secure his first win of the season. However, NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has been fined $75,000 for a fight and his father has been indefinitely suspended. Meanwhile, Kyle Busch has not been penalized for his involvement in the incident.
Some Cup drivers entered in the Xfinity race this weekend include Chase Elliott, Ty Gibbs, Kyle Busch, and Noah Gragson. The weather at Charlotte Motor Speedway is expected to have partly cloudy skies with a chance of rain in the evening, with a high of 78 degrees.
The schedule for Friday includes ARCO Menards Series and Craftsman Truck Series practice in the morning followed by Xfinity Series activities. The day will conclude with the ARCO Menards race and the Truck Series race in the evening. With so much action happening on one day at Charlotte Motor Speedway promises to be an exciting event not to be missed.
