As the countdown to Daytona Day inches closer, the stage is set for the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, which promises to deliver one of the most thrilling seasons in recent memory. With 19 full-time teams, revamped practice and qualifying formats, and four Rookie of the Year contenders, this 31st season is already brimming with anticipation.


The Stars of 2025: Rookies and Veterans Collide

Four drivers will compete for the coveted Rookie of the Year title:

  • Frankie Muniz, a Hollywood star-turned-racer.
  • Toni Breidinger, the trailblazing female driver making waves.
  • Rio Guggiero, a promising talent with an aggressive edge.
  • Christian Rose, who brings a steady hand and relentless determination.

Veteran drivers like Corey Heim, Chandler Smith, and reigning Truck Series champion Ty Majeski are poised to dominate the tracks. Heim, driving for TRICON Garage, enters as the early favorite, with analysts like NASCAR YouTuber Daniel Kriete touting him as the man to beat.

“Corey Heim is the favorite to win the Truck Series title in 2025,” said Kriete. “He’s going to be strong throughout the season and will win quite a few races.”

Meanwhile, Daniel Hemric, now with McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, could emerge as a dark horse in the championship hunt.

“Hemric has a great opportunity to win the title,” Kriete added. “He’s not the favorite, but he has the tools to make a run.”


The Schedule: Back to 25 Races

For the first time since 2021, the series will feature 25 races, including:

  • 22 oval races at iconic tracks like Talladega, Charlotte, and Rockingham.
  • Three road course events, with an all-new structure for practice and qualifying, adding a layer of unpredictability.

The season opens on February 14 at the legendary Daytona International Speedway and concludes on Halloween at Phoenix Raceway, setting the stage for a thrilling championship showdown.


Revamped Qualifying and Practice

In response to fan feedback, NASCAR has overhauled its practice and qualifying formats:

  • Pre-qualifying practice now lasts 25 minutes, up from 20, giving teams more prep time.
  • Road courses will see a 50-minute practice session, followed by two 20-minute qualifying rounds.

These changes aim to level the playing field and create more action-packed racing for fans.


The Teams: Powerhouses and Underdogs

Confirmed teams include:

  • TRICON Garage, home to title favorite Corey Heim.
  • Front Row Motorsports, featuring Chandler Smith as a potential game-changer.
  • ThorSport Racing, led by reigning champion Ty Majeski.
  • Underdog entries like Reaume Brothers Racing and Rackley WAR, which aim to disrupt the status quo.

The Debate: Can Corey Heim Be Stopped?

While Heim is widely regarded as the driver to beat, the presence of seasoned competitors like Majeski and rising stars like Breidinger ensures no victory will come easy. Fans are already speculating about the season’s defining moments:

  • Will Heim dominate as predicted?
  • Can Majeski defend his championship?
  • Which rookie will rise to the occasion?

What Lies Ahead

With a perfect blend of new faces, fan-favorite veterans, and fresh rule changes, the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is shaping up to be an unforgettable season. Whether it’s the battle for Rookie of the Year, the pursuit of the championship, or the thrilling on-track action, this year will keep fans on the edge of their seats.

Will Daytona kick off a season of dominance, or will a dark horse emerge to steal the spotlight? Buckle up, NASCAR fans—the ride begins now!
