What to Keep an Eye on in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Race on the Streets of St. Pete

What’s Happening?

For the first time ever, NASCAR joins the historic race weekend on the Streets of St. Petersburg in St. Petersburg, Florida. Tomorrow is the IndyCar season opener. But first, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series take to the streets. Here’s what to keep an eye on in today’s race.

Starting Lineup

• Connor Mosack is back. The young road racing phenom is back in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the Spire No. 7 ride. Can that truck go back-to-back? Kyle Busch won in the truck last week at EchoPark Speedway and Mosack is off to a great start, starting from the pole position.
• We have some IndyCar legends in the field today. FOX’s own James Hinchcliffe is in the field today driving Spire No. 77. Additionally, Dario Franchitti makes his NASCAR return in the Tricon Garage No. 1 truck. They roll off 3rd and 6th, respectively. Also, Adam Andretti is in the field.
• Stewart Friesen was so close to winning last week at EchoPark Speedway. He’s typically pretty strong on road courses. Can he get it done today? He has some work to do. Friesen is rolling off 17th.
• This is the first time FOX is doing a NASCAR-IndyCar doubleheader. It will be interesting to see how the quality in the broadcast goes between the two series.
