- Work continues at team shops in North Carolina for NASCAR Cup and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series teams ahead of this weekend's action in Madison, Ill. Meanwhile, NASCAR Xfinity Series teams are more than likely already en route to Portland as of this writing. They are scheduled to park in the paddock at Portland International Raceway at 10:30 a.m. ET Friday. It is a 41-hour drive at minimum from
North Carolina and teams want to get there well ahead of load in, hence why they either left already this morning or they're leaving early this afternoon at the latest. We'll have anything that breaks for you news-wise at Frontstretch. |
