The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series has headed out west to Phoenix International Raceway for the penultimate event of the season – and UNC Charlotte is going to be well represented. There are 32 trucks on the entry list for Friday night’s Lucas Oil 150 – three of which are current UNCC students, and one alum who graduated in the Spring semester.
Dominique Van Wieringen will be making her first career Truck Series start on Friday night. The 21-year-old mechanical engineering student has been working hard while climbing the ranks of the racing world. Van Wieringen competed full-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East this season, finishing ninth in the standings while becoming the first female in the series history to string together three consecutive top-5 finishes.
