BRISTOL, Tenn. – Forty-four tough truckers will attempt to qualify for Saturday night’s Pinty’s Truck Race on Dirt for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Bristol Motor Speedway.

The 150-lap event will carry on the tradition of dirt-track racing in the Truck Series, which began at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway in 2013 and continued at Eldora through 2019.

Last year’s dirt race for the Truck Series was scrubbed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year’s schedule features a pair of dirt events – this weekend’s run at Bristol and a July race at Iowa’s Knoxville Raceway.

The lineup for the 250-lap feature at the .533-mile dirt-covered Bristol oval will be set through four heat races, with 35 drivers transferring into the big show based on a combination of heat-race finish points and passing points earned for spots gained during each 15-lap heat.

The final five positions in the 40-truck field will be set by provisionals awarded through the current car owner standings, with a past champion’s provisional available if necessary.

Saturday’s entry list features seven full-time NASCAR Cup Series drivers – Daniel Suarez, Chase Briscoe, Bubba Wallace, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Newman, Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. – as well as NASCAR Xfinity Series regular Myatt Snider.

Five of the seven prior dirt Truck Series winners at Eldora – Wallace (2014), Larson (2016), Matt Crafton (2017), Briscoe (2018) and Stewart Friesen (2019) – are among the entries for Saturday’s race.

Kyle Busch Motorsports’ John Hunter Nemechek, the driver of the No. 4 Toyota, is the point leader entering the Bristol dirt race. His best dirt-track finish in the Truck Series was fifth at Eldora in 2017.

Two entries – the No. 34 Chevrolet for Reaume Brothers Racing and No. 41 Chevrolet for Cram Enterprises – remain with drivers yet to be announced.

Saturday’s Pinty’s Truck Race on Dirt is scheduled for an 8 p.m. ET start, with live coverage on FS1, the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, channel 90.
