The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race on the Streets of St. Petersburg was not a one-off event.
The series will return to the track in 2027, track promoter Green Savoree Racing Productions announced July 23.
The race will again be held as a doubleheader weekend with the NTT IndyCar Series.
On March 6, the Truck Series will hold its race, followed by IndyCar on March 7.
“The 2026 event was our best yet,” Green Savoree CEO Kim Green said in a release. “Spectator attendance was tremendous on all three days to witness history made with the NASCAR Trucks racing for the first time on a street circuit and INDYCAR kicking off its season once again. We look forward to having both of these series back together on track for our fans to enjoy at the 23rd annual Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg weekend.”
Layne Riggs won the inaugural St. Petersburg Truck race, while Alex Palou was victorious in the latest IndyCar event there.
