The No. 41 Truck Last Week at Texas: Last week’s race at Texas Motor Speedway was over before it truly started for the No. 41 team. A lap one incident left the No. 41 with heavy damage to the rear of the truck, leaving the GlobalTranz Silverado with a 34th-place finish.
Carpenter at Bristol Motor Speedway Dirt: Saturday marks Tyler Carpenter’s first start at Bristol Motor Speedway. Last season, Carpenter turned heads in his Truck Series debut at Knoxville Raceway. He battled through the field before a mechanical failure took him out of contention.
Carpenter on returning to the Truck Series: “I’m very fortunate to have this opportunity with Niece Motorsports again. Last year at Knoxville didn’t go as smoothly as this team would’ve wanted, but with my experience and confidence from last year carrying over to this year, I’m excited and optimistic about our chances.”
