Corey Heim, looking for his fifth consecutive road course victory in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, will lead the field to green in Friday’s EcoSave 250, the inaugural NASCAR Truck Series event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL.
Heim, a nine-time winner on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series campaign, posted the fastest time in Friday’s group qualifying session from Concord, North Carolina, getting around the 2.32-mile road course in 85.064 seconds (equivalent to 96.492mph).
Like it has been pretty much the entire 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series campaign, the battle for the top spot came down to Heim and Layne Riggs of Front Row Motorsports, who turned a lap two tenths slower than the No. 11 to qualify in second.
Brent Crews, making his eighth career start in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, earned a career-best qualifying result of third-place in the No. 1 JBL Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. It’s the second top-five starting spot for the Davidson, North Carolina-native in his career, the first of which came at another road course in Lime Rock Park.
Grant Enfinger put up a solid qualifying result in his No. 9 Chevrolet for CR7 Motorsports and will start in fourth, with Kaden Honeycutt rounding out the top-five starters.
NASCAR Xfinity Series rookie (and future NASCAR Cup Series rookie) Connor Zilisch will roll from sixth in the No. 7 Delaware Life Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports. The 10-time NASCAR Xfinity Series winner will be running double-duty this weekend at the Charlotte ROVAL between Trucks and Xfinity.
Gio Ruggiero, the rookie driver from TRICON Garage, will start an impressive seventh, with Corey LaJoie, defending NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Ty Majeski, and Josh Bilicki (driving the No. 41 Chevrolet Silverado RST for Niece Motorsports) rounding out the top-10.
Daniel Hemric, one of the eight drivers fighting for a spot in the Championship 4 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Playoffs, wil have to start from the rear of the field after suffering a mechanical issue in practice and not posting a qualifying lap.
Carter Fartuch and Josh Reaume, teammates at Reaume Brothers Racing, each failed to post a lap time in the qualifying session, and will thus roll from 35th and 36th.
The EcoSave 250 at the Charlotte ROVAL is set to take place on Friday, October 3, at 3:30 PM ET. Coverage of the event will be on FOX Sports 1, NASCAR Radio Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
