The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is set to take the green flag this Saturday at Michigan International Speedway, bringing a blend of tradition and fresh talent to the historic 2.0‑mile oval.
Stewart Friesen, the reigning race winner, headlines the entry list, but he will not be alone; a field of thirty‑six trucks will battle for the checkered flag.
A Competitive Lineup
Among the newcomers, Garrett Mitchell, better known as Cleetus McFarland, is slated to make his second start in the series this season, while Spencer Davis makes his first Truck Series appearance since 2023.
The competition will also feature four current NASCAR Cup Series regulars — Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Ross Chastain, Christopher Bell and Carson Hocevar — adding an extra layer of intrigue to the event.
Teams such as Niece Motorsports and Tricon Garage are expected to field entries, underscoring the growing partnership between established NASCAR entities and the developmental series.
The weekend will also include a stop in Nashville, Tennessee, where another historic track will test the drivers' skill and strategy, further enriching the series' schedule.
