This weekend, we head to Phoenix Raceway for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship Race. The race is Friday night at 7:30 PM ET on FS1. Corey Heim, Ty Majeski, Kaden Honeycutt, and Tyler Ankrum will be battling it out for the Championship. We’ve had 4 short-flat-track races in the Truck Series. Heim, Riggs, Majeski, Chandler Smith, and Enfinger are the top 5 Trucks in speed. To win the Championship, I think you’ll need to win this race. I’ll be using recent Phoenix data, short-flat-track data, practice, recent 2025 speed, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend. Qualifying is Friday at 3:30 PM ET, and I will try to have projections up by 6:00 PM ET. I will say, I think the Championship runs through Corey Heim. If he doesn’t have any issues, he’s going to be tough to beat.
