Stock car races in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series were held at Nazareth Speedway in Nazareth, Pennsylvania between 1996 to 2001.
Jack Sprague and Greg Biffle are the only two drivers with multiple wins in this race, both winning the event twice. After the closure of the track, the Truck series would return to racing in Pennsylvania when Pocono Raceway held the Pocono Mountains 125 in 2010.[1]
The race in 1996 was supposed to air on CBS; however, after a 3 hour rain delay, CBS left the speedway, and therefore the race was not broadcast. Most of the race was considered lost media until July 2025, when the full race was posted on YouTube.
