| Chasing the Lobster… Kris Wright and McAnally-Hilgemann Racing (MHR) make their way to New England for a Saturday showdown at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) for round 18 of the 2026 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (NCTS) season. The driver of the No. 81 Warranty Solutions Chevrolet Silverado RST has never made a start at the 1.058-mile oval but will look to his experience on intermediate tracks for a strong result. Wright’s starts on short intermediate tracks this season have resulted in a 23rd-place finish at Nashville Superspeedway and his third top-20 of the season with a 19th-place finish at Rockingham Speedway. Wright also earned a 17th-place finish at the Monster Mile in May. New England Results… The Loudon, N.H., circuit marks the end of the regular season for the NCTS, but the No. 81 team at MHR is focused on finishing the season on a high note. The last time Wright raced in New England, the No. 81 featured new primary partner Warranty Solutions on the truck at Lime Rock Park. Wright brought home the Warranty Solutions Chevrolet Silverado RST in 17th at the seven-turn road course in Lakeville, Conn. A few hours north at NHMS, Wright and the team will once again feature the Warranty Solutions colors as they look to score back-to-back top-20 finishes in the New England region. Season to Date… 17 races down, eight more to go for Kris Wright and the No. 81 Warranty Solutions Chevrolet Silverado RST. Wright has brought home six top-20 finishes through this point in the season. The No. 81 Warranty Solutions team has shown speed over the last two races, posting practice results of 14th at Indianapolis Raceway Park and 13th last weekend at Richmond Raceway. Tune In… Coverage from Loudon, N.H. begins Friday with practice on the FOX One app at 4:00 p.m. ET, followed by qualifying at 5:05 p.m. ET. Live coverage of the Team EJP 175 will air Saturday on FOX Sports 1 at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Kris Wright Quote: “[I’m] happy to have Warranty Solutions back on board this week. We had a good showing for them at Lime Rock and I look forward to getting a similar result this weekend. The Northeast is always a fun place to visit and come race. The fans come out strong and this Warranty Solutions team will be ready to put on a show Saturday afternoon.” |
