The 14th race of the 2025 Truck Series season arrives at the iconic 2.5-mile “Tricky Triangle”, where three distinct corners and long straightaways demand precision, strategy, and horsepower. With only five races remaining before the playoffs, the stakes are sky-high for drivers on the bubble and those chasing momentum.
Key Storylines
Corey Heim returns as the defending Pocono winner, having led 55 of 70 laps in 2024. He enters as the points leader and clear favorite.
Stewart Friesen, fresh off a win at Michigan, looks to go back-to-back and climb further into playoff contention.
Ty Majeski, the reigning series champion, holds a slim 4-point cushion above the playoff cutline.
12 drivers will make their first Pocono start, including rookies like Luke Baldwin and Andres Perez De Lara.
Spire Motorsports honors late team member Tony Witt with tribute decals on all four entries.
