Bristol - Tennessee Army National Guard 250
The Tennessee Army National Guard 250 is the sixth race of the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season and the sixth running of the event. The race is held on the same weekend as the NASCAR Cup Series' Food City 500. Bristol Motor Speedway is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all concrete surface, two pit roads, and stadium-like seating. With its steep 28-degree banking, the Bristol track creates lateral G-forces of nearly 3 Gs, similar to a rocket launch.
