The 2026 North Carolina Education Lottery 200 Truck Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway has been postponed due to inclement weather.
The event will now occur on Saturday, May 23, at 8 a.m. ET and will have air coverage from FS1, NASCAR Racing Network and SiriusXM. The decision was made after the Truck Series event was delayed due to steady rain that canceled the event’s practice and qualifying sessions on Friday, May 22.
The event was also originally scheduled to occur on Friday evening. However, not long after the competitors entered onto Charlotte’s racing surface for pace laps, the field was directed to pit road. he trucks were covered as the drivers and teams waited for the weather to clear before the postponement.
With on-track qualifying canceled, the event’s starting lineup was determined through a qualifying metric formula. This placed the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado RST entry automatically on pole position due to the entry winning last Friday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at Dover Motor Speedway with Kyle Busch.
Due to Busch’s death from a severe illness that involved hospitalization between this past Wednesday and Thursday, Corey Day is piloting the No. 7 entry. Both he and Ty Majeski will lead the field to the start of Saturday’s rain-postponed Truck event at Charlotte from the front row. A total of 36 competitors will compete in the 10th of 25-scheduled Truck events of the 2026 season.
The 2026 season is the first time the North Carolina Education 200 event has been postponed a day after its original scheduled date due to inclement weather.
