Schedule changes

In 2015, NASCAR and 21 Camping World Truck Series tracks agreed on a five-year contract that guarantees each track would continue to host races through 2020.[3] Despite the agreement, Speedway Motorsports decided to cancel the New Hampshire Motor Speedway race and add a second race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, to form two weekends involving each of the three national series.[4] The race will be moved from the first race of the Camping World Truck Series playoffs to the third race of the regular season.

As a result, the Chevrolet Silverado 250 at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park will be held as the first race of the playoffs, while the Chicagoland 225 at Chicagoland Speedway will move from September to June. The UNOH 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway will become the final race of the regular season as a result of the schedule realignment.

Unlike the 2017 schedule, the Bar Harbor 200 at Dover International Speedway will precede the Toyota Tundra 250 at Kansas Speedway and the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Also, the Drivin' for Linemen 200 at Gateway Motorsports Park will be held one week later as the tenth race of the season. Atlanta's race will now be held on a Friday night, as since 2015 it has been a late Saturday afternoon, right after the Xfinty race.[1][5]
