NASCAR’s three national series reunite this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, with the Truck Series kicking off Friday and a tribute planned for Kyle Busch after the race. Busch, who claimed 69 Truck Series victories during his career, eight of them at Charlotte, will be honored in a celebration of life event immediately following Friday’s race, underscoring his impact across NASCAR’s divisions.
The Truck Series practice begins at 1 p.m. Eastern on FS2, with qualifying following at 2:05 p.m. The Ecosave 200 race starts at 5 p.m. on Fox. After the checkered flag, FS1 will air the Kyle Busch celebration at 8 p.m. Busch’s achievements, particularly in the Truck Series and at Charlotte, have cemented his place in NASCAR history. The Charlotte Motor Speedway serves as a home base for many NASCAR teams, making it a fitting venue for the tribute.
Saturday’s schedule includes Cup Series practice at 1 p.m. and qualifying at 2:05 p.m., both on TruTV. Later in the afternoon, the O’Reilly Series continues its postseason with the Blue Cross NC 300 airing at 4 p.m. on CW. The NASCAR Chase action culminates on Sunday with the Bank of America 400 Cup Series race at 3 p.m. on USA Network.
Charlotte’s weekend is a rare gathering of all three NASCAR national series, following a break where the divisions had separate schedules. The focus on Busch after Friday’s Truck race not only honors his legacy but also reflects his broad success across NASCAR’s top tiers.
NASCAR tweeted on October 6, “Join us in celebrating the life of Kyle Busch on October 9 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on FS1 following the Truck Series race,” inviting fans to remember his career and influence.
This weekend’s events offer a mix of competition and commemoration as the postseason intensifies across NASCAR’s Truck, O’Reilly, and Cup Series. The Kyle Busch tribute after Friday’s race is the latest confirmed event, drawing attention to one of the sport’s most accomplished drivers.
