NASCAR’s Camping World Truck Series will continue with a stop at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 on Friday.

There will be a single-lap qualifying round before the race. Qualifying begins at 5:35 p.m. on FS1.

The race is 134 laps — 201 miles.

In 2020, Chase Elliott won the race, while Kyle Busch finished in second. Busch has won two Truck Series races this year, but he’s not entered in today’s race at Charlotte, nor has Elliott.

Thirty-nine drivers have entered the race, but only 36 will qualify.

Ben Rhodes, John Hunter Nemechek, Sheldon Creed and Todd Gilliland are among the drivers racing Friday.

Gilliland won last weekend’s race at Circuit of the Americas. Nemechek enters the weekend as the series points leader.
