The 2026 Ecosave 200 was a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race held on Friday, May 15, 2026, at Dover Motor Speedway in Dover, Delaware. Contested over 200 laps on the concrete oval, it was the ninth race of the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, and the inaugural running of the event after a six-year absence of Truck racing at Dover.
In the first Truck Series race at Dover since 2020, Kyle Busch, driving for Spire Motorsports, put on a blistering performance, sweeping the stages and led a race-high 147 laps from the pole position to earn his 69th and final career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his second of the season. Ty Majeski finished second, and Layne Riggs finished third. Kaden Honeycutt and Christopher Bell rounded out the top five, while Brandon Jones, Christian Eckes, Corey LaJoie, Jake Garcia, and Justin Haley rounded out the top ten.
This would be Kyle Busch's last career win before his unexpected death six days later due to a severe illness on May 21.
The race also made history as Dystany Spurlock became the first African American woman to compete in a NASCAR national series race. She finished 36th after wrecking early in the event.
Report
Background
Dover Motor Speedway is an oval race track in Dover, Delaware, United States that has held at least two NASCAR races since it opened in 1969. In addition to NASCAR, the track also hosted USAC and the NTT IndyCar Series. The track features one layout, a concrete oval, with 24° banking in the turns and 9° banking on the straights. The speedway is owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports.
The track, nicknamed "The Monster Mile", was built in 1969 by Melvin Joseph of Melvin L. Joseph Construction Company, Inc., with an asphalt surface, but was replaced with concrete in 1995. Six years later in 2001, the track's capacity moved to 135,000 seats, making the track have the largest capacity of sports venue in the mid-Atlantic. In 2002, the name changed to Dover International Speedway from Dover Downs International Speedway after Dover Downs Gaming and Entertainment split, making Dover Motorsports. From 2007 to 2009, the speedway worked on an improvement project called "The Monster Makeover", which expanded facilities at the track and beautified the track. After the 2014 season, the track's capacity was reduced to 95,500 seats.
This will be the first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series since 2020. Ecosave, who sponsored two races in the series last year, was announced as the title sponsor on November 18, 2025.
