Truck Series to return to St. Petersburg in 2027

Green Savoree Racing Promotions officials confirmed today that next year’s Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg is slated for March 5-7, 2027. In conjunction with the 2027 weekend headlined by the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, NASCAR is also announcing that the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series will make its second appearance on the St. Petersburg, Fla. street circuit with a race set for Saturday, March 6.

“The 2026 event was our best yet. Spectator attendance was tremendous on all three days to witness history made with the NASCAR Trucks racing for the first time on a street circuit and INDYCAR kicking off its season once again,” said Kim Green, co-owner, chairman and CEO of Green Savoree Racing Promotions, organizers of the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. “We look forward to having both of these series back together on track for our fans to enjoy at the 23rd annual Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg weekend.”

Four-time INDYCAR champion Alex Palou won for the second consecutive year in the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 1st to open the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. The first ever NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series street race held on the temporary downtown St. Pete circuit was won by Layne Riggs on February 28th in the OnlyBulls Green Flag 150.
