Trucks: Kyle Busch Wins Tame, Time-Shortened Race at EchoPark Speedway

by Cody Williams

What’s Happening?

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at EchoPark Speedway (formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway) is officially in the books, and it’s Kyle “Rowdy” Busch hoisting the checkered flag in victory lane. Here’s everything that went down.

  • In the first stage of the race, it was the ThorSport duo of Ben Rhodes and Jake Garcia who dominated. However, despite that tandem running strong at the front of the pack, Kyle Busch in his No. 7 Spire HendrickCars.com Chevy was able to hold his own by himself on the bottom, often challenging for the race lead. However, it was the 2025 series champ Corey Heim who claimed the green and white checkered flag by the end of the stage. He was driving the No. 1 TriCon Garage entry, methodically working his way through the pack.
  • Stage 2 was a little more contested than Stage 1. After grueling months in rehab after shattering his pelvis and breaking his back, Stewart Friesen is back in the No. 52 Toyota. He flexed some muscle today after coming up short to Kyle Busch one year ago. He claimed Stage 2, earning valuable stage points.
  • Christian Eckes is back in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this year. Unfortunately for him, his 2025 woes in the O’Reilly Series carried through to 2026. He exited the race on Lap 4 due to a broken driveshaft.
  • As far as on-track incidents go, there weren’t too many. Adam Andretti went for a single-truck spin in the early laps of a race. It didn’t even trigger a caution. The big crash of the day featured Dawson Sutton, who crashed hard in the outside wall in the dogleg. He was okay. Cole Butcher and Kris Wright were also involved.
  • In the end, though, it was Kyle Busch who stood tall in EchoPark victory lane, working in tandem with his Spire teammate, Carson Hocevar. This marks Busch’s 68 career Truck Series victory, first all-time. It is also his first Atlanta win in a row in the series.
  • Technically, the race ended around 10 laps shy of the scheduled distance. This was due to the amount of time allotted to run the race. NASCAR opted to throw the white flag with 11 laps to go.

Results

Results for the Fr8 208 are pending.

Trucks: Dawson Sutton Hard into the Wall at EchoPark Speedway

by Cody Williams

What’s Happening?

After a relatively clean race, we got our first caution of the race for an incident in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. The multi truck incident happed due to the result of a stack-up after Kris Wright and Cole Butcher tangled. Here’s what happened.

  • As the laps were winding down, things were starting to get dicey in the back of the lead pack. Running in the middle, Kris Wright in the No. 81 truck got loose and slid up the track.
  • Wright made contact with Cole Butcher in the No. 13 truck, causing him to get into the wall. This resulted in significant damage to that ThorSport Ford.
  • As that was happening, the lower lanes clipped the apron to avoid a larger incident. This caused Dawson Sutton in the No. 26 to get turned. He ran up the track and plowed into the outside SAFER Barrier of the dogleg.
  • Dawson Sutton was able to exit his truck under his own power and was checked and released from the infield care center.

Trucks: Mid-Race Report from EchoPark Speedway

by Cody Williams

What’s Happening?

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series are thundering away at EchoPark Speedway (formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway) in Hampton, Georgia. Here’s what’s going on as the second stage draws to a close in Hotlanta.

  • The ThorSport Trucks dominated the opening stage with polesitter Jake Garcia and his teammate Ben Rhodes leading a bulk of the first two stages. They, along with fellow Ford driver Chandler Smith, formed a dominating single-file truck line at the top of the stage.
  • Corey Heim returned to the Craftsman Truck Series this weekend. He started the race strong, methodically working his way up through the pack, eventually taking the race lead away from the ThorSport Trucks late in Stage 1. He went on to win the stage.
  • On Lap 4 of the race, Christian Eckes, who returned to the Truck Series after an ill-fated stint in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series with Kaulig, had some issues. He’s off to a tough 2026 season. Back at MHR driving the No. 91 truck, he suffered a broken driveshaft, ending his day.
  • With both stages now in the books, the top point earners so far in this race are Stewart Friesen (15 points with the Stage 2 win) and Andres Perez (7 points).
  • Cup drivers such as Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (No. 45), Carson Hocevar (No. 77), and Kyle Busch (No. 7) have yet to upset the truck regulars and not for a lack of trying. Kyle Busch tried to make the bottom work in Stage 1 but was never able to clear the leaders. Still, they all three ran solidly in the Top 10.
