On a bustling Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, two national NASCAR series are in full swing. The Craftsman Truck Series teams are busy practicing, qualifying, and racing, while the Xfinity Series teams are also preparing for Saturday’s race. Additionally, the ARCA Menards Series teams will be present for practice and qualifying sessions as well as a 100-lap race.
In the midst of all this action, there has been some drama in the NASCAR community. Ben Rhodes, who won last year’s Charlotte Truck race and is currently ninth in the Truck standings, is looking to earn his first win of the season. Meanwhile, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has been fined $75,000 for his involvement in a fight with another driver. His father has been suspended indefinitely due to his actions. However, Kyle Busch has not received any penalties for his actions.
Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Friday schedule is packed with activities for all three series. There is a possibility of rain in the evening according to WeatherUnderground. Fans can expect to see several Cup drivers entered in the Xfinity race this weekend including Chase Elliott, Ty Gibbs, Kyle Busch and Noah Gragson.
The day’s events will begin with practice sessions and qualifying rounds for each series before moving on to the ARCA race which will take place later that night followed by the Truck Series race which will kick off after it. The schedule also includes discussions about how weather could impact Kyle Larson’s ability to participate in both the Indianapolis 500 and Coke 600 races later on this season.
