2025 eero 250


The 2025 eero 250 was the 18th stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the final race of the regular season, and the 6th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, August 15, 2025, at Richmond Raceway in Richmond, Virginia, a permanent quad-oval shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 250 laps to complete.
Pole-sitter Corey Heim, driving for Tricon Garage, was able to take advantage of late-race troubles with Ty Majeski, the most dominant driver of the event. Heim led the final 19 laps to earn his 18th career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his seventh of the season. Majeski led a race-high 143 laps and swept both stages, until getting spun by his teammate Matt Crafton with under 50 laps to go. Majeski came back to finish second, and was unable to track down Heim in the end. To fill out the podium, Layne Riggs, driving for Front Row Motorsports, would finish in 3rd, respectively.
The 2025 playoff field was set; the 10 drivers that qualified were Corey Heim, Layne Riggs, Chandler Smith, Daniel Hemric, Tyler Ankrum, Ty Majeski, Grant Enfinger, Rajah Caruth, Kaden Honeycutt, and Jake Garcia.
