This is the final race of the regular season before the Round of 10 starts on Aug. 30. Can a driver outside the current playoff picture get a surprise win on Friday?

Corey Heim, Layne Riggs, Chandler Smith, Daniel Hemric, Tyler Ankrum, and Rajah Caruth are locked into the playoffs by wins, while Grant Enfinger, Ty Majeski, and Kaden Honeycutt have locked themselves in by points. But that final playoff spot is still anyone's. Jake Garcia holds an 11-point lead over teammate Ben Rhodes for the final playoff spot, while rookie Giovanni Ruggiero could still earn his way in on points if Garcia and Rhodes run into issues on Friday. Beyond that, the drivers 13th or lower in points are in must-win territory, as a victory is the only thing that would get them into the postseason. Last year, Majeski came away with the win in this race. He's one of three drivers in this field with a Truck Series win here, along with Enfinger and Smith.

Another NASCAR Driver Suffers From Injury After Watkins Glen Incident
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The NASCAR race weekend at Watkins Glen International made headlines not only for Shane van Gisbergen's fourth Cup Series victory, but also for full-time Xfinity driver Connor Zilisch's fall while celebrating his race win in the Victory Lane. Now though, it appears that another driver was involved in an incident on the same weekend, leading to his absence from the upcoming race at Richmond. Bill McAnally Racing confirmed in a statement on X that Jack Wood will not be able to compete in the Truck Series race on Friday at Richmond Raceway as a "precautionary" measure after he sustained an injury at Watkins Glen. The update read: "Jack Wood will not compete in Friday's race at Richmond Raceway for precautionary measures due to an injury he sustained at Watkins Glen International. The No. 91 entry has been withdrawn from the event. "An update on Wood's status will be announced at a later date." Christopher Bell, driver of the #52 Halmar International Toyota, and Corey Heim, driver of the #11 Mobil 1 Toyota, lead the field during the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Mission 176 at The Glen at Watkins... Christopher Bell, driver of the #52 Halmar International Toyota, and Corey Heim, driver of the #11 Mobil 1 Toyota, lead the field during the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Mission 176 at The Glen at Watkins Glen International on August 08, 2025 in Watkins Glen, New York. MoreThe incident occurred when Wood lost control of his truck due to a suspected front left tire puncture, leading him to crash into the barriers on either side of the track. While he was released from the infield care center after evaluation, the severity of his injury remains unknown. Fortunately for Zilisch, who leads the points standings, it is an Xfinity Series off-weekend this time, meaning he has one more week left to recover from a broken collarbone. He recently underwent surgery to speed up his recovery, but it remains to be seen if he will return for the Wawa 250 at Daytona International Speedway on August 22. At Watkins Glen, Zilisch was to race the following day for Trackhouse Racing in the Cup Series. However, his injury prevented that from happening. Trackhouse owner Justin Marks opened up about the 19-year-old's return to racing after the incident, explaining how discussions had to be made with several parties to ensure Zilisch received maximum support. Newsweek Sports reported his comments: "I think it's a discussion that we all have to have. We haven't really talked about much, obviously, since yesterday, but in the little bit that we've discussed in some of the quiet moments over the last 24 hours, it's going to have to be a group decision. "It's going to have to be sponsors, Chevrolet, the team, taking care of his development, taking care of him as a human and as an athlete, and then keeping his motivations high and making sure he knows he's got a group of people behind him that are supportive of him."

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NASCAR has confirmed that a major partner announcement will be made today at the Michigan International Speedway at 1 p.m. ET. The announcement comes during the NASCAR Truck and Cup Series race weekend in Michigan and will be made ahead of the Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400, which begins at 2 p.m. ET.

Hmm... What could it be? 😂 — Toby Christie (@Toby_Christie) June 7, 2025 Although it has not been confirmed what the announcement will be, many expect it to be to confirm the return of Dodge RAM as a manufacturer to the Craftsman Truck Series.

Stewart Friesen, driver of the #52 Halmar International Toyota, celebrates with a burnout after winning the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 Powered by Precision Vehicle Logistics at Michigan International Speedway on June 07, 2025 in Brooklyn, Michigan. MoreIf the iconic American car brand returns to the sport, it will be the first time a RAM has raced in the Truck Series since 2016. Commissioner of NASCAR Steve Phelps previously explained to Sports Business Journal: "We are having robust discussions with a number of [original equipment] partners that someday, if I had to guess and were a betting man, something is going to hit. "I just don't know with whom or the timing of that. I know that's an answer I've given repeatedly over the last five years, but they're facts. There's no BS in the comment I just made." If this is true, Dodge RAM would join Toyota, Chevrolet, and Ford as the fourth OEM in the racing series. On top of the rumors of Dodge returning to the Truck Series, there is also speculation that YouTuber turned racer Cleetus McFarland (Garrett Mitchell) could be racing with the team.
