In a historic event, the Bowman Gray Stadium will host a race of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series on August 20, 2027. This short track located in North Carolina has not been the scene of a points race from the national NASCAR series since 1971.
Over the last two years, the track has served as the venue for the exhibition race The Clash of the NASCAR Cup Series, but the 2027 race will mark the debut of trucks at its facilities. Next year, the Clash will move back to Daytona.
With a length of only 0.250 miles, the track cannot accommodate a full field of 36 trucks, so qualifying races are expected to be used to determine the starting grid for the main event.
Clay Campbell, president of Martinsville Speedway and vice president of NASCAR Mid-Atlantic, has expressed his excitement about bringing the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series to Bowman Gray, highlighting the passion of fans for racing and the track’s fame as ‘Madhouse’.
To celebrate this news, driver Rajah Caruth did burnouts with his truck from Spire Motorsports around the circuit, generating great excitement among fans.
