The 2026 Black's Tire 200 was a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race held on April 3, 2026, at Rockingham Speedway in Rockingham, North Carolina. Contested over 200 laps on the asphalt speedway, it was the fifth race of the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, and the second running of the event.
Corey Heim, driving for Tricon Garage, continued to show his dominance in the Truck Series ranks, sweeping the stages and leading all but 22 laps while holding off a charging Kaden Honeycutt and Layne Riggs to earn his 25th career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his second of the season. Honeycutt finished second, and Riggs finished third. Stewart Friesen and Grant Enfinger rounded out the top five, while Tyler Ankrum, Corey LaJoie, Ty Majeski, Jake Garcia, and Cole Butcher rounded out the top ten.
This was the second of three races in the Triple Truck Challenge. Heim won the race and was granted $100K, becoming only the second driver to win two races in the challenge.
Chandler Smith, who originally finished in fourth, was disqualified after failing post-race inspection. He was later credited with a 36th place finish.
