The 2025 EJP 175 was the 21st stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the third and final race of the Round of 10, and the 1st iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire, a 1.058 miles (1.703 km) permanent oval-shaped speedway. The race took the scheduled 175 laps to complete. In a wreck-filled race, Corey Heim, driving for Tricon Garage, would continue one of the dominating seasons in series history, winning both stages and led a race-high 124 laps from the pole position to earn his 20th career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his record-tying ninth of the season, matching with Greg Biffle in the 1999 season.[10] To fill out the podium, Chandler Smith and Layne Riggs, both driving for Front Row Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Following the race, Smith and Jake Garcia were eliminated from playoff contention. Heim, Riggs, Daniel Hemric, Ty Majeski, Tyler Ankrum, Grant Enfinger, Rajah Caruth, and Kaden Honeycutt would advance into the Round of 8.[11]

Background

[edit]
New Hampshire Motor Speedway, the track where the race was held.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a 1.058-mile (1.703 km) oval speedway located in Loudon, New Hampshire, which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since the early 1990s, as well as the longest-running motorcycle race in North America, the Loudon Classic. Nicknamed "The Magic Mile", the speedway is often converted into a 1.6-mile (2.6 km) road course, which includes much of the oval.

The track was originally the site of Bryar Motorsports Park before being purchased and redeveloped by Bob Bahre. The track is currently one of eight major NASCAR tracks owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports.
