The 2026 NASCAR Truck Series hits Echo Park Speedway today, Saturday, February 21, for the Fr8 Racing 208.

Kyle Busch is looking to win his third Atlanta Truck Series race in as many years (and seventh in his career), and qualified third on Friday behind an all-Ford front row of Jake Garcia and Ben Rhodes.

Busch is joined by three other full-time Cup Series drivers in Saturday's race (which has some weather concerns hovering over it), with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. qualifying fifth in the No. 45, John Hunter Nemechek starting 12th in the No. 62, and Carson Hocevar starting from the ninth row in the No. 77.

Reigning Truck Series champion Corey Heim (20th) also returns this weekend, fresh off the back of his Daytona 500 debut last time out. He isn't racing full-time in trucks this season, but will be in the No. 1 this time out.

With that said, let's get into all of the information you need ahead of today's race.
