By Mark Kristl
The 2019 NASCAR Truck Series season is scheduled to begin on Friday, February 15. Here are the drivers who are set to drive for different teams this season.
NASCAR racing is back! Following the holidays and the winter season, we are all excited for the 2019 season. The first points races of the season for each of NASCAR’s top three series are scheduled to take place at Daytona International Speedway this weekend. The Truck Series is scheduled to open up the weekend on Friday, February 15 with the NextEra Energy 250.
When fans tune in to watch that race, they will notice some changes. Chiefly, the Truck Series has been renamed the Gander Outdoors Truck Series from the Camping World Truck Series. But on the track, there have been some driver and team changes as well.
A total of 40 drivers are entered for the NextEra Energy 250. As a result, eight drivers will fail to qualify. With an abundance of drivers, the driver and team lineups can becoming a bit confusing, especially to open up a new season.
Before the drivers take the green flag for the 100-lap race around the four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) high-banked Daytona International Speedway oval in Dayton Beach, Florida to get the 2019 season underway, here is an update on all the changes to full-time Truck Series teams and drivers from the 2018 season to the 2019 season.
