Today’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Race the Team EJP 175 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway has become a historic one for Halmar Friesen Racing. Today will be the first time that HFR will field three trucks on the same day. They will have a real shot at winning the Team EJP 175 Today.

Their driver lineup will be Driver/Owner of his usual #52 Stewart Friesen. Christopher Bell who enters the weekend with 7 wins in 12 career starts at New Hampshire across all three national series, Bell will be in the All-Star #62. Fielding their third entry will be Connecticut native and modified star Michael Christopher Jr driving the 72.

The HFR Trucks will have some work to do if they want one of their trucks in victory lane as the best qualifying effort came from Friesen who is starting 13th in today’s race. Bell will be starting 17th with Christopher starting 21st.

In recent years, New Hampshire has been a Toyota dominated track with Corey Heim winning the race last year after sweeping the stages. In that same race last year it was Kaden Honeycutt filling in for the 52 for injured Friesen and brought the truck home 7th. Christopher Jr in his Truck Series Debut last year drove the HFR 62 and ran extremely well bringing the truck home in a solid 13th place finish.

The HFR Trucks will definitely have some speed Christopher Bell told us this morning that they have a good long run truck for today and that they will be able to make their moves to the front. Once important to note about the 72 of Christopher was, he had to qualify into this race as there was 41 trucks for 36 starting spots and the young kid locked himself into today’s race so keep an eye on that 72 team later today during the Truck Race.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Team EJP 175 will be live on FS1 at 1:30pm today from New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire.
