This news dropped a week ago but I got distracted and forgot to share it with you. But for Florida race fans this is pretty cool. NASCAR has added a race to the already huge kickoff to the Grand Prix season in St. Pete!

Starting in 2026 the same race course that kicks off the IndyCar Grand Prix series every year will now also host a NASCAR Truck Series race on Saturday February 28th, 2026.
