This Truck Series race was supposed to take place on Friday night but it was pushed back to Saturday at 8 a.m. ET due to inclement weather. Unfortunately for those eager to witness this race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, it's been delayed yet again. Even though Charlotte has rain in the forecast all day, the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 has been postponed to 9 p.m. ET. "After practice and qualifying were canceled earlier in the day Friday, Truck Series drivers loaded onto the track in anticipation of a 7 p.m. ET start," NASCAR said. "But moments before the race was slated to begin, it began raining, eventually leading to NASCAR pushing the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 back a day to Saturday. The rain persisted Saturday morning, and NASCAR officials made the call at 8:40 a.m. ET to push the race to later in the day, following the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race (5 p.m. ET, The CW, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio)."Feb 13, 2026; Daytona Beach, Florida, USA; NASCAR Truck Series driver Chandler Smith (38) leads drivers to the checkered flag during the Craftsman Truck series Fresh From Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway.

Spire Motorsports confirmed earlier this week that Corey Day will drive the No. 7 car at Charlotte. He'll try his best to honor Kyle Busch, who passed away earlier this week due to a severe illness. “It’s just a terrible situation all in all,” Day said. “My heart breaks for Samantha, Lennix, Brexton and everyone involved with Kyle. Not the circumstance that I’d like to be driving this truck."Just like plenty of other NASCAR drivers, Day has developed a tremendous amount of respect for Busch over the years. "One of the best I’d say that ever held a steering wheel in NASCAR," Day declared. "His talent was unbelievable, and just the way he did passes and found speed on a racetrack was unlike really anyone out there. Growing up as a kid, I loved to watch Kyle, and he’s someone that I think a lot of race car drivers aspire to be like one day."Maybe, just maybe, Day will make Busch proud and secure a win for Spire Motorsports this weekend.
