2026 Team EJP 175

The 2026 Team EJP 175 was a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Seriesrace held on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire. Contested over 189 laps—extended from 175 laps due to a double overtime finish on the 1.058-mile (1.703 km) oval, it was the 18th race of the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, and the second running of the event. It was also the final race of the regular season, as the top ten drivers in points after this race advanced to the Chase, a seven-race postseason to determine the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion.
Layne Riggs, driving for Front Row Motorsports, dominated the final stage, leading the final 71 laps and surviving a chaotic double overtime restart to score his 11th career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his sixth of the season. Connor Zilisch swept both stages, and Riggs led the race-high 106 laps. At race's end, Chandler Smith finished second, and Kaden Honeycutt finished third. Stewart Friesen and Zilisch rounded out the top five, while Tristan McKee, Christopher Bell, Daniel Hemric, Justin Haley, and Parker Eatmon rounded out the top ten.
The 2026 Chase field was set; the 10 drivers that qualifed were Riggs, Honeycutt, Smith, Christian Eckes, Gio Ruggiero, Ty Majeski, Grant Enfinger, Hemric, Ben Rhodes, and Ankrum.
