NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series points leader Christian Eckes hits the tri-oval Kansas Speedway Saturday for race-day qualifying at the Heart of America 200
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns from a two-week break on Saturday, with qualifying for the Heart of America 200 at Kansas Speedway set for the afternoon ahead of the race under the lights. With Kyle Busch winning the last Truck Series race at Texas on April 12, the tally of regular drivers on the circuit with provisional playoff berths remains at four. Points leader Christian Eckes, with two wins, owns one of those, along with race winners Nick Sanchez, Rajah Caruth and Corey Heim. Kansas Speedway, a 1.5-mile asphalt tri-oval, first hosted the truck series in 2001, with Busch and Matt Crafton sharing the record of three victories there.
