Seven NASCAR Cup Stars Racing Bristol Truck

Seven full-time NASCAR Cup drivers, including six series winners, will compete in this weekend's Craftsman Truck Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway. The increased participation comes as NASCAR prepares to allow Cup drivers to compete in more lower-division races starting with the 2026 season.

The rule change is expected to lead to more frequent appearances of top-tier drivers in O'Reilly Auto Parts and Truck Series events, providing fans with the opportunity to see NASCAR's best compete across different disciplines.
