Here is the thing, racing fans: the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is rolling right along with its Chase presented by Mobil 1 stretch. The machines are heading to Phoenix Raceway for a Friday night contest under the lights, with broadcast coverage scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET across FS2, FOX Business, FOX One, NASCAR Racing Network Radio, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
This upcoming battle marks the fourth contest of the seven-race Chase stretch and serves as the 22nd points-paying event of the 2026 campaign. Drivers and teams arrive at the venue with the championship pressure ratcheting up by the lap.
Layne Riggs arrives with serious momentum after taking the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford straight back to Victory Lane at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In that outing, Riggs managed to pass Kaden Honeycutt in the closing laps to reclaim control of his Chase trajectory. That stunning drive allowed Riggs to gain 20 points on Honeycutt in the Chase standings, leaving Riggs just 17 points behind in the title table.
Now, a full field of thirty-six trucks is officially entered into this weekend's Phoenix event, officially titled the Zero Carbon Bioethanol 150 Powered by POET. It is a massive grid ready to tackle the venue, and the championship battle is far from settled.
