A Return to Roots
The 2026 Faith Fest 250 will bring the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series back to the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina on July 18, marking the series’ first appearance at the 0.625‑mile oval since its revival.
Layne Riggs will lead the field from pole position, with Carson Hocevar joining him on the front row, while Christopher Bell and Corey Heim are slated to start third and fourth respectively.
Riggs currently tops the championship standings with four victories already this season, but Kaden Honeycutt is hot on his heels in second, followed by Chandler Smith and Christian Eckes in the battle for the top spots.
Last year’s race ended in controversy when Chandler Smith claimed victory after an incident involving Riggs and Heim, a moment that added extra spice to this year’s reunion.
Fans will be able to watch the action live on FOX Sports 1, with streaming available through Fubo, ensuring the series reaches a broad audience across the United States.
