A pair of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regulars will double-dip into the Camping World Truck Series this weekend at Martinsville Speedway.
Defending Sprint Cup champion Kyle Busch will attempt to break an 0-for-8 drought in the series at the .526-mile track, driving the No. 18 Toyota from his Kyle Busch Motorsports stables in Saturday’s Alpha Energy Solutions 250 (2:30 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). He’ll be part of a four-truck KBM effort with teammates Christopher Bell, William Byron and Daniel Suarez.
Kyle Larson is scheduled to make his first Truck Series start since September 2015, driving the GMS Racing No. 24 Chevrolet. GMS will also field three other trucks in Saturday’s 250-lapper, with Larson joining Daytona winner Johnny Sauter, Spencer Gallagher and Kaz Grala, a NASCAR K&N Pro Series standout making his Truck Series debut.
Justin Haley, formerly known as J.J., plans to make his fourth career truck series start in the Braun Motorsports No. 32 Toyota. The 16-year-old driver won the most recent K&N Pro Series East event last weekend at Greenville-Pickens Speedway.
