Corey Heim wins pole for NASCAR Truck Series race at Richmond

Corey Heim's quest for a seventh win in the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season is off to a good start. 

With a lap of 23.095 seconds around Richmond Raceway, Heim won the pole for Friday's eero 250, the regular season finale for the 2025 Truck Series season. 

The pole is the fourth consecutive for Heim, his sixth of the 2025 season and the 12th of his Truck Series career. 

Defending series champion Ty Majeski will join Heim on the front row, with Layne Riggs, Grant Enfinger and Sammy Smith rounding out the top five. Chandler Smith, Matt Crafton, Jake Garcia, Christian Eckes and Daniel Hemric completed the top-10. 

Other notable qualifying efforts include Kaden Honeycutt in 11th, Luke Fenhaus — who was fastest in Friday's practice session — in 15th, two-time Truck Series champion Ben Rhodes in 17th, Rajah Caruth in 21st and Carson Kvapil in 25th. 

Caleb Costner qualified 32nd for his Truck Series debut, while Gio Ruggiero, who sits 21 points below the playoff cut line going into Friday's race, was not able to attempt a qualifying lap and will start 35th. 

Andres Perez qualified 22nd for his debut with Niece Motorsports, while Corey LaJoie, who will drive Perez's former No. 77 for the remainder of the season, qualified 26th. 

The eero 250 will go green shortly after 7:30 p.m. ET, with coverage on FS1, NRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. Majeski is the defending race winner.
