Chevy Trucks Challenge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chevy Trucks Challenge was a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event held at Walt Disney World Speedway from 1997-1998. It served as the season opening event of both years.

The race was discontinued after 1998 due to the wide gap it created until the second event of the season. In 1998, there were ten weeks between the first two races of the season. A new date could not be agreed upon, and the race was permanently removed from the schedule.
