The Truck Series playoffs will continue Thursday night at Bristol Motor Speedway, which also will be play host to the ARCA Series.
Starting at 1 p.m., ARCA will practice and qualify for a 200-lap race that will begin at 5:30 p.m. William Sawalitch is the race’s defending winner, but the Xfinity Series driver is absent from Thursday’s entry list.
At 3:05 p.m., the Truck Series will begin practicing on the concrete, followed by qualifying for a 250-lap race that will begin at 8 p.m. Layne Riggs is the defending winner.
The cars of Trackhouse Racing drivers Ross Chastain and Shane van Gisbergen drove through the grass on the cool-down lap last weekend.
