Milka Duno and Daniel Suarez will make their first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts in the fred's 250 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Both drivers are on the entry list for the event, with Duno slated to drive the No. 1 Truck and Suarez behind the wheel of the No. 35 entry.
The 42-year-old Duno, a native of Venezuela, has been on the entry list for four Nationwide Series events, but she failed to qualify for two races and withdrew from a third. She made her NASCAR national series debut earlier this month at Kansas Speedway and finished 40th after a crash three laps into the event took her out of the race.
Suarez has made two starts this season in the Nationwide Series with a best finish of 15th place at Chicagoland Speedway last month. However, this is his first foray into the Truck Series. The 22-year-old NASCAR Next alumnus from Monterrey, Mexico, who has five wins in the NASCAR Mexico Toyota Series and is five points behind Abraham Calderon with two races remaining, is set to drive full time for Joe Gibbs Racing next season in the XFINITY Series as well part time for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the Truck Series.
The fred's 250 will be run on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET on FOX. It is the 18th event of the season in the series. Defending series champion Matt Crafton holds a 19-point lead over his ThorSport Racing teammate Johnny Sauter coming into the event.
