About the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

The Grand Prix of St. Petersburg takes place on a temporary street circuit in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. The event is traditionally known for hosting IndyCar, but the addition of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series adds a new layer of intensity to the weekend.
Unlike traditional oval tracks, the St. Pete circuit features tight turns, long straights, and limited passing zones — making strategy and driver precision critical factors in determining the winner.
Why This Race Matters
Street races are rare in the NASCAR Truck Series, which makes this event especially compelling. Teams must adjust setups for braking, cornering, and tire management in ways that differ significantly from oval racing.
With early-season momentum on the line, drivers will be pushing for critical points in the championship standings.
Final Thoughts
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series: Grand Prix of St. Petersburg promises to deliver intense road course action in a unique street racing environment. Whether you’re watching on FOX or streaming online, make sure you’re tuned in Saturday at 12:00 PM ET.
