DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — A pair of street races headline next year’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule that was released on Wednesday morning.
The series will compete in its first two street races in the 30-plus year history of the series as it debuts at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg (Saturday, Feb. 28) and NASCAR San Diego (Friday, June 19).
The Craftsman Truck Series will be the feature event at Saturday’s Grand Prix of St. Petersburg following NTT IndyCar Series qualifying for their season-opening race weekend. This will be the first street race in Craftsman Truck Series history.
“What a great new racing addition to the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg to include the NASCAR trucks into Saturday’s show next year,” said Kim Green, co-owner, chairman and CEO of Green Savoree Racing Promotions, organizers of the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. “Saturday will be packed for our fans with entertainment. We have INDYCAR qualifying and now an historic first with the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race. And, as usual, it all culminates on Sunday with the NTT INDYCAR Series season-opening event on the downtown streets of St. Petersburg.”
The Easter weekend event at North Carolina’s Rockingham Speedway returns to the slate April 3. Lime Rock Park, one of the oldest continuously operating road racing circuits in the United States, will return to host its second Truck Series race (Saturday, July 11).
For the fifth consecutive season, the Truck Series will return to exciting Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (Friday, July 24) located 10 miles from downtown Indianapolis.
Bristol Motor Speedway (Thursday, Sept. 17) will open the Truck Series Playoffs, along with Kansas Speedway (Saturday, Sept. 26) and Charlotte ROVAL (Friday, Oct. 9) in the Round of 10.
The NASCAR Cup Series and O’Reilly Auto Parts Series schedules were also announced.
