Active Pest Control 200: Watch NASCAR Camping World Truck Series online
By Phil Naegely
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway. Find out how to watch the race online below.
Last week, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series kicked off a busy weekend of racing at Daytona International Speedway. This weekend the Truck Series race, the Active Pest Control 200, follows the XFINITY Series race on Saturday afternoon.
Hopefully, there won’t be any rodents or pests on the track as the drivers compete on the first intermediate-sized race track this year. The new rules implemented by NASCAR will be interesting to see at Atlanta.
Specifically, stage lengths throw a new wrinkle into race day and fans should pay attention to how the teams change their strategy. Likewise, there may be more green-flag pit stops and fewer drivers heading down pit road during the competition cautions between stages.
Drivers were rusty during their race at Daytona last Friday. The race had many cautions caused by mental mistakes that usually don’t occur later in the season. During this weekend’s race, drivers should make fewer mistakes. Yet the unexpected happens often during NASCAR races. One small mistake or issue, like a flat tire, can easily wipe out a majority of the field as seen at Daytona. The trucks won’t be driving as fast as Daytona but the narrower track could cause other difficulties throughout the field.
The Active Pest Control 200’s stage lengths are as followed. Stage 1 and Stage 2 feature 40 laps a piece while the final stage lasts from lap 81 through 170. If the race is under caution during lap 170, then NASCAR’s overtime policy will go into effect until the race can finish under a green flag.
Saturday’s Active Pest Control 200 takes place at 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1 and can be streamed via Fox Sports Go, which requires cable authentication.
