Overview
- Franchitti will drive TRICON Garage’s No. 1 Toyota in partnership with Legacy Motor Club, with Dollar Tree as presenting sponsor.
- The race is the Truck Series’ inaugural event on the Streets of St. Petersburg on Feb. 28 during IndyCar’s Grand Prix weekend, scheduled for noon ET on FOX.
- The appearance is a one-off return for Franchitti, while Johnson is set to race the same No. 1 entry at the San Diego street race later this season.
- Franchitti’s prior NASCAR experience includes limited 2007–08 starts and one previous Truck race at Martinsville before his 2013 retirement after injury.
- He was medically cleared in 2019 and recently returned to modern competition with a GT3 outing, framing this start as a targeted challenge on a familiar street course.
