The 10th race of the 2025 season will be held at the North Wilkesboro Speedway on Saturday, featuring the top drivers in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. This is all the information you require before to the Window World 250. Driving the Spire Motorsports No. 07 Chevrolet Silverado this weekend, Busch, the most successful driver in Truck Series history with 67 victories, is the clear favorite. Although Busch hasn’t started in the Truck Series in North Wilkesboro yet, his lack of track experience shouldn’t be an issue as he looks to win his 68th Truck Series race. In 2023, Honeycutt made one appearance in North Wilkesboro, starting 11th and finishing 17th; nevertheless, the short track star finished fourth at North Wilkesboro in Friday’s CARS Tour race.
He is currently seventh in points after nine races, and Honeycutt may have a chance to win his first race as a professional if he can position himself.
At North Wilkesboro, is Corey Heim able to repeat?
Given how dominant he has been this season, Heim (+225) is only a hair behind Busch on the list of favorites. Even though Heim “only” won three of the first nine races, he might easily have five or six victories if the cookie fell his way a few more times. In 2023, Heim finished sixth at North Wilkesboro after winning the pole, but in 2024, he started 12th and won at the track. In two races at the track, he has led 141 laps, and if any series regular can take down Busch, Heim is the man to do it.
Will Layne Riggs recover from Kansas DQ?
Riggs, like Honeycutt, specializes in short tunes. The 2024 Bristol and Milwaukee Mile winner is looking for his first 2025 victory at North Wilkesboro, and the timing couldn’t be more ideal. Following his initial second-place finish in Kansas, which dropped him to ninth place in the standings, only 12 points above the playoff cutline, Riggs was disqualified for a bed cover issue. Although Riggs and the No. 34 club would want to secure a victory and secure their spot in the playoffs, he should have little trouble pointing his way there. In 2024, Riggs placed third in North Wilkesboro.
What impact will Wilkesboro have on the playoff race?
Riggs is not the only driver who is thinking about the postseason bubble battle when they arrive in North Wilkesboro. Only nine points separate the two-time Truck Series champion and the first man out, Stewart Friesen, from the final driver in the playoff picture. While Riggs, Honeycutt, and Jake Garcia are trying to remain over the cut line, Gio Ruggiero, Rajah Caruth, and Tanner Gray are below Friesen. The outcome of a wild short track race in Wilkesboro might significantly affect the playoff picture.
