The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns to Richmond Raceway for the regular-season finale, the Eero 250, with more on the line than just the win. A total of 37 entries are listed for Friday night’s race, but with the series’ field capped at 36 trucks, one team will not make the grid. The race marks the 18th event of the 2025 season and carries playoff implications as teams battle for position before the postseason begins.
Key Highlights
37 trucks entered for the Eero 250 at Richmond Raceway
Only 36 trucks will start, leaving one entry out after qualifying
Corey Heim seeks seventh win of 2025 after Watkins Glen triumph
Young prospects and veteran names fill a diverse entry list
Regular-season finale sets the stage for the Truck Series playoffs
Heim’s Winning Form Faces Short-Track Test
Corey Heim has been the dominant force in the Truck Series this season, winning six of the first 17 races. His latest victory came at Watkins Glen International, and now the TRICON Garage driver will take the No. 11 Safelite Toyota Tundra TRD Pro into Richmond seeking win number seven. Richmond’s three-quarter-mile layout offers a stark contrast to the high-speed flow of Watkins Glen, but Heim has shown versatility across various track types in 2025.
Notable Entries and TBA Slot
Among the standout names is Sammy Smith, piloting the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet, and Christian Eckes, a consistent contender in the No. 16 McAnally-Hilgemann Racing Chevrolet. Rising talent Brent Crews will be in the No. 1 Toyota for TRICON Garage, while Carson Kvapil will return in the No. 97 Chevrolet for CR7 Motorsports.
A few entries bring added intrigue. The No. 02 Young’s Motorsports Chevrolet currently lists its driver as TBA, a seat that could impact the final starting lineup. Veteran Corey LaJoie is entered in the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet, adding experience to the short-track field.
Young Drivers and Playoff Pressure
The Eero 250 will also feature several young drivers aiming to make a mark before the postseason. Brent Crews, Clayton Green, and Matthew Gould represent part of the next wave of Truck Series competitors, each looking to gain valuable experience. With playoff positions locked for some and still in reach for others, the race promises intensity from start to finish. As the last chance to secure points before the playoff grid is set, the outcome could shape championship storylines.
Complete Entry List Overview
The 37-truck entry includes full-time title contenders, part-time veterans, and fresh talent from across NASCAR’s development ladder. TRICON Garage, Niece Motorsports, ThorSport Racing, and Spire Motorsports all field multiple entries, while independent teams like Norm Benning Racing and Freedom Racing Enterprises look to qualify against deep competition. With the smallest margin for error in the season’s tightest field, every lap in practice and qualifying will matter as teams fight to make the race.
