Seven full-time NASCAR Cup drivers, including multiple Cup winners, will compete in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend after NASCAR expanded Cup eligibility for lower-division races in 2026.
Corey Heim, the reigning NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion, leads the NCTS standings despite running part time and can earn a $500,000 Triple Truck Challenge bonus with a third consecutive win, having already secured $150,000 with victories at Darlington and Rockingham.
The entry list includes NASCAR Cup driver Kyle Busch, the winningest driver in Truck Series history, and several other full-time Cup regulars with prior Truck victories, creating a highly competitive Bristol field that Corey Heim must navigate to claim the bonus.
