The 2025 Black's Tire 200 was the 7th stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the third iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, April 18, 2025, at Rockingham Speedway in Rockingham, North Carolina, a 0.94 miles (1.51 km) permanent asphalt oval shaped short track. The race took the scheduled 200 laps to complete.
Tyler Ankrum, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, would execute a successful pit road strategy, leading the final 29 laps to earn his second career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his first of the season, snapping a winless drought dating back to the 2019 Buckle Up in Your Truck 225.[8] Corey Heim led a race-high 52 laps, finishing 8th, while Layne Riggs won both stages and finished 11th, due to running low on fuel in the final few laps. To fill out the podium, Jake Garcia, driving for ThorSport Racing, and Daniel Hemric, driving for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
This was also the first Truck Series race to be held at Rockingham since 2013, and the third and final race of the Triple Truck Challenge. Ankrum won the race and was granted the $50K bonus cash.[9]
