The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series roars back into action on Friday with qualifying for the SpeedyCash.com 250 set for the afternoon ahead of the race under the lights. Christian Eckes comes to Texas Motor Speedway off a win on the short track in Martinsville, his second victory of the young season, while Ty Majeski took over the lead in the points race after a second-place finish on The Paperclip. Texas Motor Speedway offers a different challenge. The 1.5-mile quad oval opened in 1996 in Fort Worth and began hosting trucks in 1997, with the race moving from June to May in 2022 and then to April last year.

Carson Hocevar, now driving full-time on the NASCAR Cup Series, led just one lap at Texas last year, but it was the most important one in an overtime victory over Chase Purdy. Nick Sanchez led for 168 of the 172 laps before a crash on the first turn of the final lap took him out of contention.
Majeski comes to Fort Worth with a seven-point lead in the driver standings over both Corey Heim and Tyler Ankrum. Eckes is 11 points back, with Taylor Gray (36 points behind), Sanchez (39), Rajah Caruth (40), Matt Crafton (75), Grant Enfinger (94) and defending series champion Ben Rhodes (100) rounding out the top 10.
Eckes, Heim, Sanchez and Caruth clinched provisional playoff berths with race wins earlier this season.
