The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at Charlotte Motor Speedway has been pushed back twice by relentless rain, finally finding a slot on Saturday evening.
The green flag will drop at 9 p.m. Eastern, with the action carried live on FS1, giving fans a rare chance to see the series under the lights.
A Quiet Tribute in the Garage
When the teams rolled into the track’s garage, the usual hum was replaced by a hushed reverence. Richard Childress Racing was granted the privilege of unloading their No. 33 Chevrolet first, a gesture that honored the late Kyle Busch.
The entire garage fell silent, each crew member taking a moment to reflect on the legacy of Busch and the broader loss that the sport has felt, a loss that also echoes the memory of Dale Earnhardt, another titan who shaped the series.
For Richard Childress Racing, the tribute is more than a ceremonial gesture; it is a reminder of the deep connections that bind drivers, teams, and fans across generations, a bond that endures despite the empty seats left by two legends.
