Chandler Smith and the No. 18 Safelite team head to Nashville Superspeedway for Friday’s Rackley Roofing 200 in the middle of a four-truck battle for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series regular season championship.

With a runner-up finish at Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway this past weekend, John Hunter Nemechek and the No.4 Mobil 1 team jumped to the top of the board in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship standings.

Big Dog Energy, a family-owned natural gas company, has partnered with Kris Wright, driver of the Niece Motorsports No. 44 Chevrolet Silverado, for multiple NASCAR Camping World Truck Series events including this weekend at the Nashville Superspeedway.

Hailie Deegan will be making her 37th career NCWTS start this Saturday as the series takes on the Rackley Roofing 200.

We are excited to announce that several Middle Tennessee business owners have come together to support racing in the Nashville community by sponsoring Jesse Little and his Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet for the upcoming NASCAR Camping World Truck race at Nashville Superspeedway.

Alan on his top-20 effort at Knoxville: “Despite starting towards the tail end of the field, our No. 45 AUTOParkit team battled all night to back from a lap down to finish 18th. It was a good showing from our group and we only got better and more aggressive as the race went on. We’re looking forward to bringing that same effort and mentality to Nashville next week.”

Thompson on his run at Knoxville: “We faced adversity very early tonight after cutting a left rear tire in the opening laps, but this No. 40 Worldwide Express team fought all night long to get us back in contention and I’m proud of the effort we set forth. We showed good speed this weekend but luck wasn’t on our side. We’ll bounce back to cap off this eight-week stretch at Nashville next week.”

Wright on his run at Knoxville: “Our No. 44 F.N.B. Corporation team battled this weekend in Knoxville. We fought back from falling a lap down and ultimately had our run take a hit by suffering a flat right front tire during the final stage, forcing us to pit under green. We’ll regroup and shift our attention to Nashville next week.”

Hocevar on the No. 42 team’s tough-luck night at Knoxville: “Tonight was a tough one for our No. 42 Worldwide Express team to come to terms with after our run ended as early as it did. Unfortunately, this is one aspect that we can’t control, but our team built such a fast Chevrolet Silverado for this weekend."

Carpenter on making his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut at Knoxville: “Tonight was bad to the bone, really. It’s unfortunate our night had to end this way because I think both me and the truck had more potential than that. I feel like we struggled early on, but to be able to charge up to second in the heat race and run in the top-20 in tonight’s feature showed we were capable of having a strong finish.”
