NASCAR Truck - North Wilkesboro

The Window World 250 brings NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series racing back to North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2025. This 250-lap event covers 156.25 miles on the historic 0.625-mile paved oval track in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. The race features three stages with two 70-lap segments followed by a 110-lap final stage.

North Wilkesboro Speedway stands out with its distinctive layout. The track includes 14-degree banking in the turns and 3-degree banking on straightaways. Drivers face a unique challenge with the downhill frontstretch and uphill backstretch, a feature that resulted from the original construction budget limitations.

The NASCAR Truck race field includes veteran competitors and promising rookies. Notable names competing at North Wilkesboro include William Sawalich, Michael McDowell, Justin Haley, Grant Enfinger, and Corey Heim. Rookie of the Year candidates Toni Breidinger, Gio Ruggiero, Frankie Muniz, and Christian Rose add fresh talent to the competition.

North Wilkesboro Speedway holds significant NASCAR history. Built in 1946, it hosted races from NASCAR's earliest days until 1996, including two Truck Series events. After a 26-year closure, the track reopened in 2022 with modern improvements like repaving, pit road updates, SAFER barriers, and LED lighting.

The track's connection to moonshine production adds to its character, with Wilkes County once known as the "moonshine capital of America." Dale Earnhardt Jr. helped preserve the track by having it digitally scanned for virtual racing, which contributed to its eventual revival.

This NASCAR Truck event at North Wilkesboro promises competitive racing on a track that combines modern safety features with classic short-track action. The Window World 250 continues the legacy of truck racing at this historic speedway while showcasing both established stars and new talent in the series.
