The NASCAR 2025 season will be marking its 31st season and with only a few weeks left before the big Daytona Day, all the updates are here. The season will see the entry of Ty Majeski as the 2024 reigning Truck Series champion. While currently it is anticipated that a total of 19 teams will be hitting the tracks, the number can change at the last moment as well. 

With a total of 22 oval races and 3 road course races, this is the first time since 2021 that the series will be seeing a total of 25 races. The contenders for the much-coveted Rookie of the Year are out as well.

The 2025 season will also witness four drivers competing for the Rookie of the Year Title – Frankie Muniz, Toni Breidinger, Rio Guggiero, and Christian Rose. To add to that, the 19 full-time drivers for the season have been announced as well.

Taking to X, a formal announcement was made regarding the current standing for the NASCAR Truck Series 2025 season. The post read, “2025  @NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Silly Season Tracker as of 12/29

– 19 full time teams announced

– 4 ROTY contenders (Breidinger, Guggiero, Muniz, Rose)

PT notes:

– Benning announced running at Daytona. I’d expect him to run at Pocono (home track) and Talladega

– FDNY announced 3 races with Dauzat (Daytona, Pocono & Talladega) with the addition to Lime Rock with a funded driver. Team also wants to run Charlotte, Nashville and Rockingham if there’s funding”.

The 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season will feature an exciting lineup of competitive teams vying for victory. Among the confirmed entries are TRICON Garage, CR7 Motorsports, McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, Rackley WAR, Reaume Brothers Racing, Front Row Motorsports, Niece Motorsports, Spire Motorsports, and Freedom Racing Enterprises

NASCAR has also been extremely vocal about how they are planning to revamp the practice and the qualifying session for the 2025 season. Pre-qualifying practice sessions will extend from 20 to 25 minutes. This will eventually allow teams more time to prepare before single-vehicle qualifying. While the practice sessions will still be in two groups, qualifying will no longer follow the same format. 

However, there is an exception for the on-road courses. For the NASCAR Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series, road course events will feature a new structure. There will be a 50-minute practice session for all cars. This will be followed by two 20-minute qualifying sessions split into groups. With an exciting lineup of drivers, revamped formats, and a schedule packed with iconic venues, the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series promises to deliver an unforgettable season for fans.

The prowess of NASCAR YouTuber Daniel Kriete is quite well known and what adds to his repertoire is his pool of knowledge in the field. However, just before the 2025 season starts, Kriete has given a detailed insight into what the 2025 season might look like. Some names that Kriete mentioned from his expectation bucket are Corey Heim, Chandler Smith, and Ty Majeski. Speaking about Heim he said, “Going into 2025, he’s one of the favorites if not the favorite to win the Truck Series title. I think he’s gonna be really strong throughout 2025. I think he’s gonna win quite a few races this year”. 

While Heim from Tricon Garage was his first choice, he seemed to be quite excited about Smith from Front Row Motorsports as well. Majeski’s winning run at the 2024 and leading Thorsport Racing to the victory line has also made him a prominent name in the list. He also shared his insights about Daniel Hemric. Talking about the prospects of Hemric he said, “Daniel Hemric is one of the favorites to win the title this year. I don’t know if he’s like the favorite like Corey Heim, but I think he’s got a really good chance and opportunity to win the championship this year”. 

Kriete’s insights paint Corey Heim as the dominant force to watch in 2025, with Hemric as a potential dark horse for the title. His predictions set the stage for a season filled with fierce rivalries and unexpected turns for all the NASCAR fans.
