2019 NASCAR Xfinity, Truck Series Schedules Unveiled

By David Morgan, NASCAR Editor

In following with the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series schedule that was released back in April, NASCAR unveiled the 2019 schedules for both the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series on Wednesday.

While most of the schedule remains the same for next season, there are a couple of notable changes, mostly on the Truck Series side. The series had been finishing off their season with three straight tripleheaders at Texas, Phoenix, and Homestead, but starting next year, their November date at Texas will move to the April race weekend at the track.

With the move, the seven-race playoffs will now begin at Bristol in mid-August, followed by the Canadian Tire road course to kick off the postseason.

The other notable change for the Truck Series is the change of the title sponsor for the series as Gander Outdoors takes over for Camping World in 2019.

With Gander Outdoors, formerly known as Gander Mountain, purchased by Marcus Lemonis in bankruptcy last year, the Camping World CEO felt the time was right to give his newest acquisition top billing in the Truck Series for the remainder of their deal with NASCAR, which runs through 2022.

“Nearly a decade ago, we felt strongly our entitlement sponsorship would dramatically increase Camping World’s customer base and it’s delivered,” said Lemonis. “We expect the passionate fans of NASCAR will embrace Gander Outdoors the same way they supported Camping World and we couldn’t be more excited about the future of the series.”
