2005 NASCAR Truck Schedule Released

Written by John Davison · July 29, 2004

The 2005 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule announced today increases the number of races held in conjunction with the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series and closes existing “gaps” between late winter and spring events.


The 25-race schedule, which opens Feb. 18 at Daytona International Speedway and concludes Nov. 18 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, includes 16 same-week races in cities hosting NASCAR NEXTEL Cup events.

“The growth of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series coincides with the opportunity to bring more events to NASCAR fans across America,” said Mike Helton, NASCAR’s President. “Next year’s realignment has created additional positive steps to enhance and expand visibility of the series to the benefit of our teams, tracks, sponsors and television viewers.”

The reconfigured schedule also takes advantage of heightened fan and media interest in the “Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup,” the season’s final 10 races that provide a points framework awarding the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup championship. The final five events of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will be in combination with those weekends
