The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will continue with a 25-race schedule in 2009, opening with Daytona International Speedway and ending at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The big addition will be a Truck race Aug. 28 at Chicagoland Speedway, with the one race falling off the NCTS schedule being the fall race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The Atlanta race fell off the schedule as part of a realignment that saw the track’s traditional late-season Cup date moved to Labor Day weekend.
