Teams will race on Friday afternoon at the 2.66-mile Alabama track. Talladega does not have lights, so this race must start earlier to account for the looming darkness.
Only three races remain in the Truck Series season. Teams will take on Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, Martinsville Speedway next weekend, and then Phoenix Raceway on Oct. 31.
