NASCAR Truck Series Shuffles Lineup for Texas ShowdownFORT WORTH

Less than 24 hours before the green flag drops on Friday night’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway, three high-profile drivers have been pulled from the field in a quiet but significant reshuffle.

Chase Briscoe will not compete in the No. 5 Tricon Garage Toyota, Christopher Bell has been removed from the No. 62 entry, and Corey Heim is out of the No. 1 Tricon machine. Stepping in are rising prospect William Sawalich in the No. 5, veteran Cory Roper in the No. 62, and Brandon Jones taking over the No. 1.

The changes stem from NASCAR’s relaxed rules, which allow more Cup Series drivers to compete in the Truck and Xfinity Series, forcing several big names to sit out after exhausting their allotted starts. Several part-time Truck regulars who ran earlier races are also absent, opening seats for younger drivers seeking valuable 1.5-mile data and experience.

Texas Motor Speedway’s wide, high-banked layout and familiar tire package promise the usual chaotic, multi-groove action fans expect. Practice and qualifying are complete; the 150-lap race goes green at 8:30 p.m. CT.
