(NORTH WILKESBORO, NC – MAY 17, 2025 – RIS) Corey Heim got out-run by Chandler Smith in practice for the Window World 250 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at North Wilkesboro Speedway but that made no difference to the starting lineup after weather cancelled qualifying and the race starting lineup was determined by the rulebook.

Smith ran a best practice time of 18.439 seconds, just 0.103 second ahead of Heim’s lap. Heim’s ten-lap average was the best of the field.
