Rockingham Speedway officially returns on Friday evening as Craftsman Truck Series teams take on the Black's Tire 200.
This event marks only the third time in Truck Series history that teams have competed at the .94-mile paved track. Kyle Larson and Kasey Kahne are the only drivers to celebrate Truck wins at The Rock.
Friday's schedule will feature two drivers with Truck experience at the North Carolina track. Three-time champion Matt Crafton competed in both races in 2012 and '13, as did veteran racer Norm Benning.
Parker Kligerman, who returns to the Truck Series this weekend, won an ARCA Menards Series race at Rockingham back in 2009.
