The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series returns to Las Vegas this weekend for the Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 (Friday, March 4 at 9 p.m. ET. on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

 

This will be the 30th running of a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The first series race took place on November 3, 1996 and was won by three-time series champion Jack Sprague driving for Hendrick Motorsports.

 

Going into this weekend, eyes may be on last year’s Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 winner, Christian Eckes to see if he can pull it off again. His 2021 win at Las Vegas was his first in the series. In his 10 series starts, he has managed one win, two top fives and five top 10s. In 2019, he became the youngest pole winner in Las Vegas Motor Speedway history at 18 years, 3 months and 28 days old.

 

Kyle Busch leads the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in wins at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with three (2018, 2019 and 2020). He isn’t the only former winner entered in the race this weekend. He will be joined by Christian Eckes (2020), teammate John Hunter Nemechek (2019), Grant Enfinger (2018) and Ben Rhodes (2017).

 

Practice for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will take place on today, March 4 at 4:30 p.m. ET directly followed by Cometic Gaskets Pole Qualifying at 5 p.m. ET both will be televised on FS1.
