NASCAR changes tracks without leaving the state of North Carolina, moving from the North Wilkesboro Speedway to Charlotte Motor Speedway. The weekend of races begins on Friday night with the North Carolina Education Lottery 200, set for an 8:30 pm Eastern time start. FS1 has the telecast, and you can also listen via Motor Racing Network or SiriusXM. Last week, Corey Heim won the Wright Brand 250 at North Wilkesboro Speedway. The race had weather delays that stopped the race on Saturday after 81 laps before resuming Sunday. Five inches of rain poured onto the track during just 90 minutes on Saturday, causing draining issues and almost submerging Heim’s truck, but these events didn’t keep Heim from swiping the lead from Jake Garcia shortly after a Lap 186 restart. He held it all the way to the end of Lap 250 to get his third Craftsman Truck Series win of 2024 and the eighth win of his career. He pulled away from runner-up Grant Enfinger, finishing 2.474 seconds ahead of him. He also got within four points of Christian Eckes for the Craftsman Truck Series point lead after Eckes finished sixth. Let’s look at Friday night’s race as you plan your NASCAR betting for the weekend.

Bet on the Truck Series Betting North Carolina Education Lottery 200
Christian Eckes
Eckes gained 39 points with his sixth-place finish, keeping him six points ahead of Corey Heim, who gained 49 points with his win. Eckes has two wins among five top-five finishes so far, and those additional high results are the reason why he leads Heim, even though Heim has one more win on the season.
Nick Sanchez
Sanchez did not take advantage of his front-row starting position and settles for seventh. He still got 30 points, due to his seventh-place finish, and he now sits in fourth in the Craftsman Truck Series points table. Tanner Gray came in 16th and is now in tenth place on the truck series. He has four different top-ten finishes in 10 starts to the 2024 season.
Charlotte Motor Speedway is a 1 ½-mile superspeedway that has been around since 1959. An innovative lighting system that uses mirrors was installed in 1992, and Charlotte became the first superspeedway to have races at night. The track is a quad oval with 24-degree banking in the turns and five-degree banking on the straightaways. The frontstretch runs 1,980 feet, and the backstretch runs 1,500 feet.
The current weather forecast for Friday calls for about a 20% chance of rain at the starting time with a high temperature of 86 with 56% humidity, so the likelihood of more weather delays this time around is significantly less.
