NASCAR: 2018 Camping World Truck Series start times revealed
By Alex Herbst
The full 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule is now set, with start times and TV coverage set for the coming year on Fox Sports.
Heading into a new year, much will be new for the world’s top truckers in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. New teams, new drivers in new places, and new tracks in new places on the schedule will lead to many changes for the 2018 season. However, much will be the same in the television schedule for the series in the new year.
Fox Sports and stock car racing’s sanctioning body announced the finalized times and networks for the races in the Camping World Truck Series in 2018. Each of the 23 races on the calendar for the series will be covered by Fox Sports, with 22 of those 23 airing on their sports network FS1. The fall race at Talladega for the trucks will be aired on the FOX broadcast network. This is a drop from 2017, when races at Pocono, Martinsville, and Talladega were seen on FOX, while Eldora was demoted to Fox Business Network.
Time changes, meanwhile, will remain few and far between from the 2017 schedule. Key changes are that both races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will run at 9:00 pm eastern, while the race at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park will slide back slightly to 2:30 pm eastern. All other races will maintain their previously scheduled time from the year prior.

FS1 will be the principal network once again covering the series, with the broadcast team already confirmed by Fox Sports. Vince Welch will return to lead the telecast with play-by-play, joined by Michael Waltrip and Phil Parsons as analysts. Hermie Sadler and Kaitlyn Vincie will primarily cover pit road once again, with Alan Cavanna stepping in when necessary. Kevin Harvick can also be expected to lend his voice to the broadcast in 2018 when available.
