After the 2023 season, two major teams – Kyle Busch Motorsports and GMS Racing – closed their doors. As a result, the 2024 off-season saw major shake-ups, with five drivers requiring a new contract elsewhere.
Fast forward to the end of 2024: movement may not be as frequent, but major shake-ups have still occurred.
From former Xfinity champions moving back down to young talents taking their first steps, here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 Truck Series grid.
TRICON Garage (Nos. 1, 5, 11, 15, 17)
Starting with the largest team on the grid, TRICON Garage has consistently produced winners, with Corey Heim taking six wins this previous season.
Since the 23XI and Legacy Motor Club reserve was unable to find a ride in the Xfinity or Cup Series – a target of which he was aiming – Heim (No.11) will return to the team in 2025 on a one-year contract.
The only other returning driver will be Tanner Gray (No.15). In the 2024 season, his fifth full-time campaign, he achieved his best ever points finish with 13th in the overall championship.
However, he failed to notch a top-five throughout the year. After an anonymous campaign last year, Gray will be looking for an opportunity to finally shine on the Trucks stage.
Onto the team’s newcomers, Toni Breidinger’s (No.5) signing, who replaced Dean Thompson, immediately made an impact once announced.
Breidinger has previously done two seasons of ARCA in 2022 and 2024 with Venturini Motorsports; however, she achieved her best finish of third during her part-time campaign in 2023 at Kansas.
Having made a few Truck starts with TRICON in 2023 and 2024, the 25-year-old will look to simply complete as many laps as possible.
The last confirmed full-time entry from TRICON is Gio Ruggeiro (No.17). Ruggeiro comes off a full-time ARCA East campaign coupled with select ARCA main series starts, achieving one win in the East season opener in Pensacola.
With his consistency in ARCA and what this No.17 truck can do, expectations will be high for the 18-year-old rookie.
TRICON is also expected to bring back the No.1 truck on a rotating-driver basis. The four drivers of this truck include Xfinity JGR driver and race-winner Brandon Jones, 2024 ARCA East champion and Xfinity JGR driver William Sawalich, ARCA race winner and CARS driver Brent Crews and Venturini ARCA driver Lawless Alan.

Reaume Brothers Racing (Nos. 2, 22, 27, 33)
Since 2018, Reaume Brothers Racing has been a recurring entry in the Truck Series. Now expanding to two full-time entries plus two part-time, the team has reached new heights.
To start, Frankie Muniz (No.33) now goes full-time in trucks – replacing Lawless Alan. Muniz spent 2024 making sporadic starts with the team in Trucks and with Joey Gase Motorsports in Xfinity.
Results have not been promising for the TV star, given his equipment, but it will be interesting to see how he develops in only his second full-time campaign in stock cars.
Their second full-time truck will be piloted by a rotation of Tyler Tomassi, Cody Dennison and a yet to be confirmed third driver (No.2). Tomassi spent 2024 making a few starts in Trucks and ARCA but failed to pick up any top-tens.
Tomassi will split duties between driving for RBR in Trucks for two races and MBM in Xfinity for 2025.
Cody Dennison joins RBR for his Truck Series debut. He spent 2024 racing in the ARCA Menards Series – picking up two top-ten finishes. Dennison will pilot the Truck in eight races starting in Martinsville.
RBR’s first part-time truck looks to be split between Keith McGee and Stephen Mallozzi (No.27). McGee made ten starts with RBR in 2024, achieving a best finish of 21st in Atlanta.
Mallozzi made two starts with RBR and one Xfinity start for Joey Gase Motorsports in 2024.
RBR is expected to bring a second truck – the No.22 – as a part-time entry for 2025 as well. However, no drivers have been announced.

Hettinger Racing (No. 4)
Following the shutdown of Bret Holmes Racing midway through 2024, half of the team’s assets were transferred to the Hettinger family, who formed the new Hettinger Racing.
They made two starts at the tail-end of 2024 at Martinsville and Phoenix with Brett Moffitt – achieving a best finish of 16th at the former.
Brett Moffitt (No.4) is anticipated to return – albeit, on a part-time basis. Since 2022, Moffitt has struggled to find full-time opportunities given a lack of funding.
As a former Truck Series champion in 2018, however, Hettinger Racing could have a great driver behind the wheel to build the team up slowly.
Norm Benning Racing (No. 6)
Since 2021, Norm Benning Racing have been running on a part-time basis – usually partaking in the restrictor plate and short track races.
The global pandemic significantlyreally hindered their operation, as that year ended a streak of multiple full-time seasons for the driver that bore the team’s name.
Although not confirmed, Norm Benning (No.6) is expected to make one or two starts throughout the year. The team aims to attempt qualifying at Daytona.

Spire Motorsports (Nos. 07, 7, 71, 77)
One of the teams on the up in both Cup and Trucks is Spire Motorsports. Having taken three victories in Trucks last season, the Gainbridge-backed organisation will look to take the next step into championship contention.
The driver that gave the team their first playoff berth with his maiden win in Las Vegas was Rajah Caruth (No.71).
Following this win, Caruth ran consistently all year – though ultimately missed out on the final playoff round, he finished the season seventh in the overall championship.
The plans for the No.77 are more uncertain at the moment, as no likely contenders have stepped up into the spotlight.
As the silly season unfolds, it appears that the truck will run on a rotational basis, with Corey Day being the only confirmed driver. Other rumoured drivers include Kyle Busch and Connor Zilisch.
With the collapse of Rev Racing, Spire has now acquired the team’s assets. On top of their truck operation, they will take their championship-winning ARCA driver Andres Perez de Lara (No.77).
Perez de Lara made two starts with Spire in the Truck Series last year, finishing in the top-ten on debut at Gateway.
For their final entry, Kaz Grala (No.07) is expected towill finally secure a full-time ride after years of hunting.
After being dropped by Sam Hunt Racing in Xfinity following 2023, Grala competed on a part-time basis in the Cup Series with Rick Ware Racing – piecing together multiple top-15 runs.
As a former Truck Series race-winner himself back in 2017 and now in a competitive ride, expect to see Grala up front.

NEMCO Motorsports (No. 8)
Since John Hunter Nemechek began his ascent up the ranks following 2018, NEMCO Motorsports haven’t competed in a full season.
That trend doesn’t look likely to change, as their only anticipated entry will be at Circuit of the Americas with Trans-Am ace Samuel LeComte (No.8).
LeComte’s last attempt in 2023 saw a DNQ, so hopefully fortunes will turn around for the 64-year-old driver.
CR7 Motorsports (Nos. 9, 97)
For CR7 Motorsports, 2024 was a great year for them. With a capable pair of hands behind the wheel, they nabbed two victories and a Championship 4 appearance.
That pair of hands was Grant Enfinger (No.9), who will return to the team in 2025 to replicate this performance.
Although only running at Daytona, team owner Codie Rohrbaugh (No. 97) is likely to attempt the big season opener again.
Despite his last two attempts ending in retirements, one top-five and another top-ten in 2020 and 2021 respectively shows that – if there at the end – Rohrbaugh can make some noise.
Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing (No. 10)
Since 2010, Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing has been a perennial favourite towards the back of the grid. As a team with one of the smallest budgets in the Truck Series, the team usually struggles to make every race.
The team’s lineup will exclusively consist of owner Jennifer Jo Cobb (No.10). Jo Cobb ran from 2010 to 2021 full-time, but recently, she has only attempted to make the “big” races – such as Daytona, Charlotte and the Kansas races.

Young’s Motorsports (Nos. 02, 20, 46)
Although usually running in the mid-pack, Young’s Motorsports tends to be up front when it matters on the plate tracks – culminating in a 2019 victory at Talladega with Spencer Boyd and a 2021 Talladega victory with Tate Fogleman.
Their first truck will be piloted by Mason Massey (No.02). Massey was slated to drive the 2024 season in this truck full-time, but after a string of five finishes 20th or lower in a row, he was put to the sidelines for the final seven races. With a chip on his shoulder, Massey will have a point to prove in 2025.
Young’s second truck will belong to Thad Moffitt (No.46). Upon the collapse of Faction46 midway through last season, their assets were sold off to Young’s – who fielded Moffitt for the remainder of the year.
Though not confirmed, it is likely this will occur on a part-time basis, given that Moffitt will be undertaking a full-time campaign in ARCA for 2025.
The drivers for the No.20 truck have yet to be announced, but this ride will likely occur on a rotating, part-time basis.

Roper Racing (No. 04)
Over the last few years, Roper Racing has been a pleasant surprise. From showcasing top-five speed in Las Vegas in 2021 to being only a couple feet away from taking victory in Daytona that same year, Cory Roper will look to take the No.04 truck back into contention at the big tracks, which will be his only starts this year.
The No.04 will also feature on road courses and short ovals, with IndyCar driver Marco Andretti finding his footing in the Truck Series.
Andretti made five starts in six attempts in 2024 with the team at COTA and the other short tracks; however, he reached the top 25 on only one occasion.
ThorSport Racing (Nos. 13, 66, 88, 98, 99)
As one of the most historically successful teams, ThorSport Racing will look to add onto their legacy – fresh off a title triumph last season.
Defending champion Ty Majeski (No.98) will look to go back-to-back. Majeski has been full-time in the Truck Series since 2022 and has amassed six wins with his ThorSport squad.
Majeski is only one of three former champions on this team, however, as three-time Truck Series champion (2013, 2014, 2019) Matt Crafton (No.88) returns for his 21st season with the team.
His results have been on a steady decline since 2019 – given his older age – but he will look to finally break a winless streak this year that has been ongoing since 2020.
The last of the former champions (2021, 2023) is Ben Rhodes (No.99). A Truck Series veteran now, Rhodes’ results have slipped the previous year – following a team-wide slump in results early in 2024. Rhodes will be seeking to take a third title in 2025.
For the young Jake Garcia (No.13), it will be a year of rebuilding confidence after a subpar 2024.
Following a 2023 rookie year that saw three top-fives in a less competitive McAnally-Hilgemann ride, Garcia only achieved two top-tens in 2024.
Now with a year embedded within the team, the 19-year-old will aspire to feature in the top five more often.
The No.66 entry for ThorSport is expected to remain as a Truck to rotate multiple drivers throughout the year. Expect to see names such as Luke Fenhaus and Johnny Sauter return for select starts.

Trey Hutchens Racing (No. 14)
As another family-run organisation, Trey Hutchens Racing runs on a very small budget – usually parking the truck after a few laps to avoid involvement in crashes.
It hasn’t been confirmed whether they will run at short tracks – such as North Wilkesboro – or not, but Trey Hutchens (No.14) is expected to bear part-time driving responsibilities.
Hattori Racing Enterprises (No. 16)
Since their championship triumph with Brett Moffitt in 2018, Hattori Racing Enterprises has been on the decline – downsizing to a part-time operation after the 2023 season.
The team is expected to return again on a part-time basis in 2025. Drivers have yet to be confirmed, but rumours link Landen Lewis (No.16) to compete in a race or two throughout the year.
McAnally-Hilgemann Racing (Nos. 18, 19, 81, 91)
Despite coming up short in the title race, McAnally-Hilgemann Racing held incredible consistency with Christian Eckes in the No.19. Now that he departs, the team seeks to replace him all the while expanding to four full-time trucks.
Replacing Eckes in their flagship ride is 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Daniel Hemric (No.19). Hemric comes off a rather anonymous campaign in the Cup Series with Kaulig Racing’s No.31 car, where he only finished in the top ten four times.
However, with previous experience in the Truck Series from 2015 to 2016 paired with a title-contending ride, watch out for Hemric to finally take his second victory in the top three NASCAR divisions.
Returning to McAnally-Hilgemann for 2025 is Tyler Ankrum (No.18). Ankrum has competed in the Truck Series since 2019, when he took his sole victory at the defunct Kentucky Motor Speedway.
The 23-year-old has swapped teams three times, going from DGR Crosley (now TRICON) to GMS Racing, Hattori Racing Enterprises and now McAnally-Hilgemann since 2024.
Ankrum recorded his statistically strongest season with their No.18 truck and will look to take his second victory by 2025.
After a partial campaign in 2024, Jack Wood (No.91) goes full-time in 2025. His results have not been inspiring – only recording three top-tens despite being in championship calibre equipment since 2021.
Maybe this full-time opportunity will finally provide Wood the stability he needs to perform in the top-ten consistently.
The team’s only new-comer this season is Connor Mosack (No.81). The 25-year-old split his duties across Xfinity, Trucks and ARCA in 2024 – recording one win in ARCA, four top-tens in Trucks and one top-ten in Xfinity.
Given his versatile nature coupled with great equipment under him, expect to see Mosack contend for wins.

Floridian Motorsports (No. 21)
Partnered with Joey Gase Motorsports, Scott Osteen’s Floridian Motorsports competed in a solid ten races last season. They will continue as a part-time operation next year.
This ride is expected to be mostly piloted by Mason Maggio (No.21). In his eight starts, he achieved a best finish of 18th at Talladega.
Maggio is a star on the local scene, having finished second overall in the 2022 Carolina Pro Late Model Series with three wins.
One other driver is expected to at least attempt a race weekend behind the wheel, but no candidates have been stated yet.
Rackley WAR (No. 26)
With support from former Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick, Rackley WAR seems to be on the up.
From taking their first win in 2022 with Matt DiBenedetto to adding a seasoned veteran to the management side, this team will be one to watch next year.
Rackley only plans to field one full-time truck: Dawson Sutton (No.26), who replaces Ty Dillon.
As the co-owner’s son, some may think he’s only achieved this ride for name-sake, but in one of his seven starts last year, Sutton managed to finish an impressive fifth in Kansas.
His performance in Kansas was especially impressive considering that it was his third start and first one on a track longer than 1.3 miles.

FDNY Racing (No. 28)
Though a perennial backmarker team, FDNY Racing has become a fan-favourite for their honesty on social media – especially throughout recent off-season rule changes.
Their displeasure of the changes around pit road fire suits may agitate them, but they still plan on only entering four races this season.
That driver behind the wheel will be Bryan Dauzat (No.28), as usual since 2014. Dauzat has competed with FDNY every year since 2017 at the plate tracks and occasional 1.5-mile.
Last year, at Daytona, Dauzat managed to finish ninth – the team’s best result since 2018. If there by the end of the race, look out for Dauzat to sneak in a great result.
Front Row Motorsports (Nos. 34, 38)
In the last five years, Front Row Motorsports has been one of the most exciting teams. Now expanding to three cars in the Cup Series, they have now expanded to two trucks with one of the most interesting driver lineups in the field.
Returning for year two is Layne Riggs (No.38). Son of former Cup driver Scott, Layne missed the Truck Series playoffs in 2024 – suffering through bad luck and subpar performances throughout the regular season.
However, after the playoffs began, Riggs went on a tear – winning the opening two races of the first round at Milwaukee and Bristol, then following it up with a runner-up in Kansas.
If Riggs can showcase this pace during the regular season, he could arguably be a championship threat.
Speaking of championship threats, his new teammate is immediately one: Chandler Smith (No.34).
After a season of insane consistency in Xfinity that saw him finish fifth in the standings, Smith was left without an NXS ride for 2025 – now moving back down to Trucks.
However, with five wins and a best points finish of third in 2022, Smith will return with a point to prove in 2025.

Ryan Huff Motorsports (No. 36)
As another small, family-run operation, Ryan Huff Motorsports plans to only enter at Daytona.
They will bring the bearer of the team’s name – Ryan Huff (No.36) – to the track. Huff attempted to qualify for the season opener last year but failed to make the show.
Niece Motorsports (Nos. 41, 42, 44, 45)
Bayley Currey (No. 41), Matt Mills (No. 42), Christian Rose (No. 44) Kaden Honeycutt (No. 45)
Only two years ago, Niece Motorsports were consistently in the fight for victories week in, week out.
However, since Carson Hocevar graduated to the Cup Series, the team has struggled to find a driver with similar star-power.
Niece is thinking they’ve found that driver, though, as 2024 Snowball Derby winner Kaden Honeycutt (No.45) will take to the track as a full-time driver.
In his select starts in 2024, he surprised many within the industry by taking two top-fives and four further top-tens.
As the reigning CARS Pro Late Model Champion – the last step before NASCAR’s official series – Honeycutt’s stock is as high as it’s ever been.
Returning for a second season is Matt Mills (No.42). In the same truck that Hocevar took to the Championship 4 in 2023, Mills failed to fulfill those expectations in 2024 – only cracking the top ten on two occasions and not finishing most of the events. Mills will be expected to deliver greater performances in 2025.
The No.41 truck will return in 2025 – albeit, on a part-time basis. The drivers being rotated will be Bayley Currey, Ross Chastain and Matthew Gould.
Niece’s last entry will belong to rookie driver Christian Rose (No.44). Rose spent 2024 in the ARCA Menards Series with AM Racing, achieving two top-fives throughout the season. 2025 will likely be a year of gaining experience for the 29-year-old.

Halmar Friesen Racing (No. 52)
Although a family-run organisation, Halmar Friesen Racing is a consistent contender up front.
This, in due part, is thanks to their owner-driver Stewart Friesen (No.52). Friesen has competed full-time in Trucks since 2018, picking up three wins along the way.
He also picked up a best points finish of fourth in 2019 – falling short to a higher result due to subpar pace in Homestead.
The team’s results have been on a steady decline, but a safe pair of hands behind the wheel will certainly see top-tens.
Hill Motorsports (No. 56)
As a fan favourite backmarker, Hill Motorsports is expected to return in 2025 on a full-time basis.
The man bearing the team’s name will also drive for them: Timmy Hill (No.56)<
