Overview
- Corey Heim, Kaden Honeycutt, Ty Majeski and Tyler Ankrum are the Championship 4, with the highest finisher among them earning the 2025 crown.
- Qualifying set the grid with Honeycutt fifth, Heim sixth, Majeski eighth and Ankrum 21st for the winner-take-all finale.
- NASCAR found an unapproved panel on Layne Riggs’ No. 34 FRM Ford, ejecting crew chief Dylan Cappello, sending the truck to the rear and mandating a pass-through despite his pole speed.
- Riggs is still credited with pole in an FRM front-row lockout with teammate Chandler Smith, though Jonathan Coates steps in as interim crew chief and the team also loses its truck chief after repeated inspection failures.
- Majeski enters as the defending series and Phoenix winner, whereas Heim arrives with a record 11 wins and 1,500-plus laps led that do not confer an advantage under the finale format.
