The highly-anticipated NASCAR Gander Outdoors Series Triple Truck Challenge begins this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway with the SpeedyCash.com 400 (Friday, 9 p.m. ET, FS1, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
“The Trip” is a newly-introduced, three-race competition for the series that begins at Texas and continues June 15 at Iowa Speedway and concludes June 22 at World Wide Technology Raceway (formerly called Gateway Raceway) in Madison, Illinois.
With a half million dollars on the line, the great racing will surely be even more intense. The winner of Friday night’s race in Texas earns a $50,000 bonus. If a driver wins two of the three, he’ll earn a $150,000 bonus and if someone sweeps the triple, they will earn $500,000.
“I feel really good. Spring race we had a really fast truck. .. a truck capable of beating Kyle (Busch) and winning the race,’’ said Moffitt, whose team – should he win the Triple Truck Challenge – will give away a house, a brand new Chevy Silverado truck and $10,000 in cash.
“Pretty cool my sponsors pulled together and we are able to give the fans something, too.’’
There’s another exciting element to this weekend’s race at Texas as Greg Biffle is making his return to competition driving the No. 51 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota. It will be the first NASCAR start in three years for the former Gander Trucks and NASCAR Xfinity Series champion.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve driven the truck, but I’m really looking forward to it and Texas is one of my favorite tracks,’’ Biffle said. “I’m looking forward to what this weekend is going to bring.’’
