Emerling Returns to Truck Series at New Hampshire Finale

The 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season concludes with a key race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where Patrick Emerling will drive the No. 22 truck for the first time this season. Derek Lemke, Natalie Decker’s husband, has had limited appearances this year, finishing 24th at Richmond and 26th in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. Lemke’s role in the No. 22 truck remains uncertain due to no confirmed driver for the postseason. Natalie Decker’s recent poor performance led to no further starts for 2026, while Emerling’s return to Truck Series racing marks a notable comeback after a hiatus since 2017.
