The NASCAR trucks return to the Knoxville Raceway for the second straight year on Saturday night with the running of the Clean Harbors 150. Knoxville race director John McCoy says the national exposure is a plus with the race of Fox Sports One.

Last year’s race was on dry and slick conditions. McCoy hopes the track will be a little more tacky for this one.

McCoy says the NASCAR trucks draw a different crowd from the ones that watch sprint cars.
