The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is one of NASCAR's three premier national touring divisions of stock car racing (alongside the Cup Series and the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, formerly Xfinity). 
— Modified stock cars built to resemble current full-size pickup trucks from manufacturers like Chevrolet, Ford, and (returning in 2026) Ram.

 These vehicles feature powerful V8 engines, but with rules emphasizing durability, cost control, and closer competition compared to the more aerodynamic Cup cars.

 The 2026 season marks the 32nd year of the series (which began in 1995 as the NASCAR SuperTruck Series).

It features a 25-race schedule, blending traditional venues with new or returning tracks like Rockingham Speedway, street courses in St. Petersburg and San Diego, and road courses such as Lime Rock Park.The season is scheduled to begin on Friday, February 13, 2026, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.

This race kicks off NASCAR Speedweeks, the annual pre-season festivities that include practice, qualifying, and lead into the Daytona 500 (for the Cup Series) the following weekend..
