The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series' 2021 schedule was revealed on Thursday, and it includes a first-time trip to one of the most famous dirt tracks in the country.

The first stop for the NASCAR Trucks at Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway will give the series two races on dirt in 2021. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series’ first dirt race will take place at Bristol Motor Speedway (March 27) where it will pair with the NASCAR Cup Series. On July 9, trucks will travel to Knoxville Raceway.

To help make room for the new venues, two mainstays were left off the 2021 schedule. The Truck Series will not visit Michigan International Speedway for the first time since 2001, and it will not travel to Kentucky Speedway for the first time since 1999.

“The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series provides some of the most intense and entertaining competition in all of racing,” said Ben Kennedy, NASCAR vice president of racing development. “The 2021 iteration of the schedule will build upon that intensity through a wide variety of long-tenured race tracks and new venues like Knoxville Raceway. The variety of disciplines will increase the demand on drivers and culminate with a truly battle-tested champion at Phoenix.”

The Camping World Truck Series will kick off 16 NASCAR tripleheader weekends in 2021, including at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas (May 22) and Nashville Superspeedway (June 18). The Camping World Truck Series will return to Watkins Glen International on Aug. 7 to race on that road course for the first time since 2000.

The series will also share the stage with the NASCAR Cup Series on Saturday, June 26 in Pocono, as all three national series take part in the NASCAR Cup Series doubleheader weekend in Pennsylvania.

As was originally scheduled in 2020 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway will return to host the start of the Playoffs (August 20). Two historic short tracks will determine which drivers continue their Playoffs run, as Bristol Motor Speedway (Sept. 16) trims the field to eight and Martinsville Speedway (Oct. 30) decides which four drivers will race for a championship at Phoenix Raceway (Nov. 5).
