NASCAR moves up start time for New Hampshire Cup race due to weather threat

In August 2026, NASCAR held a Truck Series race at Richmond Raceway, marking the 17th event of the season. Kaden Honeycutt emerged victorious in both stages of the 250-mile Black s Tire 250, securing his second win of the year for TRICON Garage. However, despite a valiant effort from Corey Heim, Honeycutt's triumph was not marred by any rival's success.

The race's broadcast attracted an average of 281,000 viewers across FOX Sports 2, in partnership with NASCAR and FOX Sports. Initially scheduled for a Friday night slot on FOX Sports 1, the event was rescheduled to a Saturday afternoon appearance on FOX Sports 2. The change in timing did not diminish the show's appeal, as the Truck Series race proved to be a solid TV turnout for NASCAR and FOX Sports.
