UPDATE Wednesday, March 17 at 10:40 AM ET:

ORIGINAL STORY: Wednesday, March 17 at 9:43 AM ET
When it comes to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Marcus Lemonis is basically Santa Claus. In addition to sponsoring the series with his Camping World brand, and coming up with all sorts of incentives for drivers like The Triple Truck Challenge and the wild set of bounties last year for drivers defeating Kyle Busch, and then another round of bounties after that, but now he has taken a liking to sponsoring trucks. And a lot of trucks.
This week for the FR8 Auctions 200 in Atlanta Motor Speedway, it seems that Lemonis is set to be the primary sponsor on at least six trucks. This comes on the heels of 10 trucks having Camping World branding on them in Las Vegas.
So, who will have a Marcus Lemonis sponsorship this weekend in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series?
NIECE Motorsports will fly the colors of Overton’s on three of their race trucks. The No. 40 of Ryan Truex, No. 42 of Carson Hocevar and the No. 45 of Brett Moffitt will all be dawning the blue, black and white colors this weekend.
We are thrilled to have @Overtons on our trucks this weekend @amsupdates! Thanks to @marcuslemonis and the @campingworld family of brands for the support! We have some exciting things planned for this weekend – stay tuned!#campingworldnascar pic.twitter.com/Xlxoh2lumU

And while this isn’t a primary sponsorship, Bill Lester is technically driving a seventh Lemonis-backed entry this weekend as his No. 17 David Gilliland Racing features Camping World branding on the sides of his truck.

The highest finishing Camping World/Marcus Lemonis sponsored entry back in Las Vegas was Grant Enfinger, who finished seventh in Codie Rohrbaugh’s CR7 Motorsports machine. Which of the new wave of Lemonis sponsored entries will run best this week? And will any of them impress Lemonis with a flat-out victory?
