Carson Hocevar
Hocevar, a Cup Series driver, returns to the Truck Series for this race. He won at Texas in 2023, proving he knows how to navigate this track. His experience could give him an edge against full-time Truck Series competitors.
Nick Sanchez
Sanchez has been fast all season, securing pole positions at Texas in both 2023 and 2024. He led 168 of 172 laps in 2023 before an overtime restart incident cost him the win. He finished third last year, making him a strong contender.
Race Storylines
Can Heim Secure His Third Win?
With four top-five finishes and six top-10s this season, Heim has been the most consistent driver in the field. A win at Texas would further solidify his championship aspirations.
Ford’s Struggles at Texas
Ford has not won a Truck Series race at Texas since 2000, when Greg Biffle took the checkered flag. Can a Ford driver finally break the streak this weekend?
Young Stars vs. Veterans
With Cup Series drivers like Hocevar in the field, Truck Series regulars will need to step up to defend their turf. The battle between emerging talents and experienced racers will be a key storyline.
