DYSTANY SPURLOCK Returns to NASCAR Trucks at Richmond Under Pressure

August 11, 2026

• DYSTANY SPURLOCK attempts to qualify the No. 2 Ford at Richmond as 39 trucks compete for 36 spots in Friday’s Black’s Tire 250, facing Cup regulars and defending winner Corey Heim.
• SPURLOCK became the first Black woman to start a race in NASCAR’s top three national divisions earlier this season, treating that milestone as a starting point rather than destination.
• Her 2026 Foxxtecca-backed campaign includes six top-15 finishes across eight ARCA starts, with a seventh-place run at Hickory demonstrating lead-lap consistency and traffic management skills.
• Richmond’s three-quarter-mile layout demands precision braking and throttle control as tire falloff and 15-20 degree temperature drops after sunset create constantly changing grip levels throughout the race.
• SPURLOCK’s path from driving eighteen-wheelers cross-country to fund early racing efforts reflects blue-collar work ethic visible in her telemetry study and crew collaboration approach at Team Reaume.
