The NASCAR organization is set to host a Craftsman Truck Series race at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 2027, according to recent reports from The Athletic and The Winston-Salem Journal. This race is scheduled for August 20, 2027, and would mark the first National Series points race at Bowman Gray Stadium since 1971, when Richard Petty clinched victory.
The return of NASCAR to the stadium aligns with an agreement between NASCAR and the City of Winston-Salem, which was signed in 2025 to fund the installation of a new video board at Bowman Gray. The arrangement extends for a period of five years, providing a boost to local community health education initiatives as well. While a NASCAR official reached by WGHP could not confirm or refute the information, the network expressed anticipation of covering the event during its championship night airing in Winston-Salem.
