2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Baptist Health 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway: Race Preview, Prediction, Schedule, Entry List, Drivers to Watch and How to Watch

The Baptist Health 200 is scheduled for Friday, March 21, 2025, and the NASCAR Truck Series will be stopping by Homestead for qualifying. Homestead-Miami Speedway will host the sixth official race weekend of the 2025 Cup Series season, and NASCAR is ready for the action. In 2024, Tyler Reddick defeated Ryan Blaney and Denny Hamlin with a spectacular last-lap pass. You won’t want to miss the action because the track will host all three NASCAR levels!

This week, the Craftsman Truck Series will make its way back to Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Baptist Health 200, which was won by Corey Heim in Las Vegas last week. This is the fourth race of the season, and the question is on everyone’s mind, can anyone beat Corey Heim?

Everyone will start qualifying for their starting position from one lap around the Homestead-Miami Speedway, and the race will consist of 134 laps and 201 miles of competitive racing at the iconic Florida track.

This season has already seen three Truck Series events, with races at Daytona, Atlanta, and Las Vegas. Corey Heim has two wins in the No. 11 Toyota after beating Grant Enfinger to the black and white checkered flag by under a second last time out.

Two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch is the other Truck Series winner this season, joining him on that list after his win at Atlanta in February and this weekend, we might add another Cup Series champion to the 2025 winner’s list as Kyle Larson will be racing in the No. 5 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet. Larson has won three Truck races in his career and is aiming for number four on Friday night.

As we get to Homestead, Ty Majeski is the current leader of the NASCAR Truck Series standings, with Heim, Enfinger, and Chandler Smith close to him.

With that out of the way, let’s jump into everything you might want to know leading into qualifying and how to watch everything live.

Drivers To Watch

Two Cup Series drivers are competing this weekend. Larson, Kyle Larson, and Ross Chastain. Larson will race the #07 with Spire Motorsports and Chastain the #44 Chevy for Niece Motorsports. For TRICON Garage Brandon Jones is competing in the field. Larson’s mentee Corey Day is competing for Spire as well.

It is difficult not to pick Larson as a lock for the race when he is in the field but he hasn’t competed in a truck race since North Wilkesboro in 2023. But he prevailed in that race.

Heim is bound to be the most skilled Tundra on the track in the field. As the last winner in this series, Grant Enfinger will likely defend his victory for Chevrolet. To defend his title 2022 winner and 2024 Truck Series champion Ty Majeski is seeking his first victory in 2025 however he is not the only fast Ford in the series this year. Chandler Smith and Layne Riggs, Front Row Motorsports trucks, have been a sight to behold lately.
