HOMESTEAD, Fla. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns to action this week in the Baptist Health 200 Friday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

CR7 Racings Grant Enfinger is the defending Homestead race winner. Last weeks Las Vegas winner, Corey Heim led a race best 68 of the 134 laps but finished fourth in the October 2024 Homestead visit.

Reigning series champion Ty Majeski won at the track in 2022 and three-time series champ Matt Crafton hoisted the trophy in 2015.

Heim has wasted no time establishing himself as a championship favorite again. Hes won two of the seasons three races and led a series best 51 laps, however he sits second to Majeski in the standings, five points off the reigning champs pace. Enfinger dropped to third in the championship last week, tied with Chandler Smith, eight points back.

As with the other two NASCAR series on the marquee this weekend, the trucks have a long and assorted winners list. The last 10 races have all been won by different drivers.

When it comes to consistency, however, the 22-year-old Heim has certainly proven to be a master of the 1.5-milers like Homestead winning three of the last five races on that brand of track and his No. 11 TRICON Garage Toyota leading 504 laps on 1.5-mile tracks since he started competing fulltime nearly double that of any other competitor.

Kyle Larson, who will drive the No. 07 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet. The last and only other time he drove that truck he ended up in victory lane (at North Wilkesboro, N.C. in May 2023).

Fellow NASCAR Cup Series star, the hometown favorite this week, Ross Chastain will drive the No. 44 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet. He has three top-five finishes in three Homestead starts in the series.
