2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series

American motorsport season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season is the 32nd season of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, a pickup truck racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season started on February 13 with the Fresh From Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway and will end with the Baptist Health 200 on November 6 at Homestead–Miami Speedway.

Layne Riggs, the No. 1 seed and the current championship leader.

This is the first season with Ram as a manufacturer since the 2012 season.[1] It is the first season since 2000 without Matt Crafton competing full-time after his retirement from full-time racing after the 2025 season. This would also be the first season since 2008 to have Jimmie Johnson run in the Truck Series, as he ran the race at Coronado.[2] This is also the first season since 2005 to have Tony Stewart as he ran the season opening race at Daytona.[3] It was the last season to feature Kyle Busch, the winningest driver in series history, as he would die from sepsis on May 21, 2026, nearly a week after he won his final race at Dover Motor Speedway.

Corey Heim, the reigning Craftsman Truck Series champion, opted not to defend his title, instead switching to a part-time campaign with his team Tricon Garage. After the Team EJP 175 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Layne Riggs clinched the No. 1 seed for the Chase, the new championship format for the series (replacing the playoff format after a decade of service).

This season marked the final season with Craftsman as the title sponsor of the series, as FedEx Freight will replace the title sponsor starting next season.[4][5][6]

Notes:

  1. At New Hampshire (race 18), Toni Breidinger qualified the No. 26 truck but after Dawson Sutton failed to qualify in the No. 27 truck, Breidinger would be replaced by Sutton.
  2. Entry is fielded in a collaboration with MBM Motorsports.
  3. At New Hampshire (race 18), Frankie Muniz qualified the No. 33 truck but after Luke Baldwin failed to qualify in the No. 2 truck, Muniz would be replaced by Baldwin.

At Richmond (race 17), Christopher Bell qualified the No. 62 truck but after the race was postponed to the same day as the Cup series race, Bell decided not to run the Truck Series race to focus on the Cup Series race and was replaced by Leland Honeyman, which is why they are both listed in the No. 62 truck for that race.

Season summary

Regular season

2024 series champion Ty Majeski won the pole at Daytona.[189] The race featured the return of Tony Stewart and Ram in the sport since 2016 and 2012, respectively. Carson Hocevar won stage one, and Chandler Smith won stage two. Smith made a thrilling four-wide move in the tri-oval on the final lap to win the race.[190]

Jake Garcia won the pole at Atlanta.[191] Corey Heim won stage one, and Stewart Friesen won stage two. The race was shortened due to time constraints with the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race, ending ten laps short. Kyle Busch would win the race, marking his third consecutive win for the Truck Series race at Atlanta.[192]

Connor Mosack won the pole at St. Petersburg, the first ever Craftsman Truck Series race on a street course.[193] Ben Rhodes won stage one, and Layne Riggs won stage two. Riggs, who dominated the later half of the event, with 41 laps led, would win the race.[194]

Kaden Honeycutt won the pole at Darlington.[195] Christian Eckes won stage one. Honeycutt won stage two. Carson Hocevar a Cup Series regular, crashed on lap 145, causing overtime. Ross Chastain was leading the race late, however, Corey Heim overtook him on the last corner of the last lap.[196]

Jake Garcia won the pole at Rockingham.[197] Corey Heim swept the stages. Heim held off teammate Kaden Honeycutt to win the race, winning back to back races in the Triple Truck Challenge, becoming the second driver to do so.[198]

Kaden Honeycutt won the pole at Bristol.[199] Christian Eckes won stage one, and Ben Rhodes won stage two. Christopher Bell would overcome a late race red flag with around 80 laps after the leaders crashed out, and ultimately winning his first race since 2017.[200]

Ben Rhodes won the pole at Texas.[201] Rhodes led every lap en route to a stage one win while holding off Carson Hocevar. Hocevar then won stage two, after passing Mini Tyrrell late. Stage three would feature a wild ending, with two huge wrecks on the frontstretch, which brought out two red flags. After the track was cleared, on the last restart for overtime, Hocevar held off Gio Ruggiero for his second career win at Texas Motor Speedway.[202]

Brent Crews won the pole at Watkins Glen.[203] Daniel Hemric won stage one, and Connor Zilisch dominated and ultimately won stage 2. Kaden Honeycutt would prevail to claim his first career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, hours after winning the ARCA Menards Series race.[204]

Rain at Charlotte canceled qualifying, with Corey Day (as a relief driver for Kyle Busch) winning the pole.[208] Christian Eckes won stage one after the race was postponed to the same day as the Coca-Cola 600, and Layne Riggs won stage two. The race ended early due to Fox broadcasting the Indianapolis 500, with Riggs ending up winning.

Ty Majeski won the pole at Michigan.[211] Christopher Bell swept the stages, Bell's first time sweeping the stages in the Truck Series since the 2017 Active Pest Control 200. Corey Heim held off teammate Kaden Honeycutt for the win on the last lap, Heim's third win in the season.[212]

Kaden Honeycutt won the pole at Coronado.[213] Layne Riggs won stage one and Parker Kligerman won stage two. Riggs won the race after battling Tyler Reif, who made a mistake in the chicane.[214][215] This was the longest Truck Series race in history, with a race time of 2 hours, 48 minutes, and 13 seconds.

Layne Riggs won the pole at Lime Rock.[216] Riggs won the first stage, while Kaden Honeycutt won the second stage. In a caution-filled final stage, Grant Enfinger took advantage of late troubles with Riggs and Honeycutt and earned his 13th career Truck Series win, snapping a winless streak dating back to the 2024 Baptist Health 200.[217]

Layne Riggs won the pole at North Wilkesboro.[218] Riggs won the first stage, while Ty Majeski won the second stage. Chandler Smith led the final 105 laps and won the race.[219]
