It became the third National division of NASCAR’s top series premier leagues, and quickly became popular among fans and with drivers and owners themselves.
One of the main reasons, is that the division was created to make it more affordable for both fans to watch and drivers and owners to become involved in.
Without the enormous 💰 expense, like that of the other top 2 leagues.
The Truck Series was initially sponsored by 🔧 Craftsman and then with 🏕 Camping World taking over the main sponsorship a few years later.
For 2019, the series was proud to announce a new major sponsor, known as GANDER Outdoors!
Update 2022

Today, the 3 Premier series in NASCAR are known as:
✔ The NASCAR Cup Series
