TheTriple Truck Challenge is abonus program for race winners for designated races in theNASCAR Craftsman Truck Series each season that is designed to give attention to series regulars. The program debuted in 2019.
On February 4, 2019, NASCAR announced the formation of the Triple Truck Challenge. The Challenge consisted of three consecutive races, held atTexas Motor Speedway,Iowa Speedway andGateway Motorsports Park. Only drivers eligible for Truck Series points could be on the entry lists for those races. If a driver won one of the three races, a $50,000 prize was awarded; if a driver won two of the three races, a $200,000 prize was awarded; and if a driver won all three races, a $500,000 prize was awarded.[1]Greg Biffle won the first race of the challenge, driving forKyle Busch Motorsports in a one-off entry, and was not eligible to win the bonus money for the next race at Iowa due to not being listed on the preliminary entry form.[2]
For 2020, the Challenge races were planned to be toRichmond Raceway,Dover International Speedway andCharlotte Motor Speedway, again holding consecutive slots in the schedule.[3] The requirement for a driver to be on the preliminary entry list to be eligible for the prize money was also dropped.[4] Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 races were changed to theDaytona International Speedway road course, a rescheduled Dover date andWorld Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway.[5]
