The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is at Nashville Superspeedway on Friday night for the Rackley Roofing 200. This is part of a big tripleheader weekend for NASCAR's top three series.
Last week, the Truck Series was at Charlotte, where Corey Heim unsurprisingly dominated, leading 98 of the 134 laps. Ross Chastain, Kaden Honeycutt, Layne Riggs, and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five.

Top Drivers
Corey Heim - $12.7K
Corey Heim has been unstoppable at intermediate tracks. Of his four wins this season, three have come at this track type, including last week's dominant win at Charlotte, in which he led 98 laps.
Pre-practice NASCAR Truck Series predictions for Nashville:
1. Corey Heim 34.6%
2. Kyle Busch 24.7%
3. Chandler Smith 6.5%
4. Layne Riggs 4.8%
5. Kaden Honeycutt 4.1%Full win/T3/T5 sims plus values at @FDSportsbook ⬇️ https://t.co/7zd00eYhek
— Jim Sannes (@JimSannes) May 30, 2025
Overall, Heim has now led 50 or more laps in five consecutive races. In fact, out of the 11 races this season, he's led 50 or more laps all but four times, and two of those were superspeedway races, which tend to be unpredictable. At normal tracks, he's led 16 or more laps every time out.
The championship is Heim's to lose in 2025. He should be considered the favorite to win weekly, especially on intermediates.
Kyle Busch - $11.7K
Is Kyle Busch as dominant as he's been in the past? No, but he's still a virtual lock to finish in the top 10. In three Truck Series starts in 2025, Busch has a win and an average finish of 5.0.
He's also 2-for-2 at Nashville as far as winning races go, though his starts here were in 2010 and 2011, so it's not quite as predictive as if those wins were recent. Still, he won from the pole both times, leading 271 of the 300 laps across the two events.
Layne Riggs - $10.0K
Layne Riggs hasn't been the best Front Row Motorsports truck overall, but I strongly prefer him to Chandler Smith this weekend. Smith has struggled a bit at intermediates, while Riggs has three of his four top fives this season at the track type.
That number could have been higher. He led 10 laps at Texas before crashing out of the race, so really, the only intermediate where he didn't look like a contender was Kansas. Riggs should be the biggest threat to Heim and Busch on Friday night.

Mid-Tier NASCAR Trucks DFS Lineup Options
Grant Enfinger - $9.3K
Grant Enfinger has run well at intermediate tracks this season, with top 10s at Vegas, Homestead, Kansas, and Charlotte, including a runner-up finish at Las Vegas.
Last year, Enfinger finished sixth here after starting second. I wouldn't bet on him to have race-winning speed on Friday night, but Enfinger should be a solid top 10 threat.
Kaden Honeycutt - $9.0K
I think I'm finally at the point where I won't fade Kaden Honeycutt on an intermediate no matter how high he starts the race. His fifth-place starting spot last week spooked me a bit, but he brought the No. 45 truck home third, his fifth top 10 in the previous six races.
Daniel Hemric - $8.5K
Daniel Hemric has come on strong lately, posting top 10 finishes in five consecutive races. Three of those have come on intermediate tracks, including a second-place run at Texas.

— Daniel Hemric (@DanielHemric) May 25, 2025
Weirdly, he's only led a total of one lap in these five races. Hemric has a reputation for being a solid driver who lacks race-winning upside, with just one Xfinity and one Truck Series win in his career. That limits his ceiling a bit, but he's a solid top-5 contender, even if he won't get up to the lead and challenge for a win.
Tyler Ankrum - $8.3K
Tyler Ankrum continues to put up strong runs, though he's finished outside the top 10 in two of the past three races. Both of those were at intermediates, but his fourths at Texas and Homestead show that the recent mediocre runs were probably more about bad luck than anything else.
Another factor that could potentially work in Ankrum's favor this week as a DFS option is that he's lacked qualifying speed recently, starting outside the top 10 in three consecutive races. If he starts outside the top 10 tonight, he'll jump to the top of my favorite plays. He'd still be worth playing even if he qualifies well, but he would have a little less upside.
Rajah Caruth - $8.0K
Half of Rajah Caruth's six top 10s this season have come on intermediates. The track type seems to be Caruth's strong spot. He finished fourth in the race here last season.
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Value Picks
Note: Some of these won't necessarily be values after qualifying. Check back then for updates, which will be at the top of the article.
Jake Garcia - $7.8K
Jake Garcia has finished outside the top 10 in back-to-back races for the first time this season, but he was barely outside, finishing 12th at North Wilkeboro and 11th at Charlotte.
Garcia has been quick most weeks, though intermediates have given him a bit of an issue, as his only two finishes outside the top 20 were Vegas and Texas. Still, his overall speed this year keeps him on the DFS radar.
Stewart Friesen - $7.4K
Stewart Friesen tends to be a bit hit-or-miss, but he already has two top 10s on intermediate tracks this season and has a good track history at Nashville, with two top fives and a pole position in his four starts at the track.
Tanner Gray - $7.3K
Tanner Gray is one of those boom-or-bust plays. He has two top 10s all year, both of which were top fives at intermediate tracks. His struggles outside of those two races have to be accounted for, but the fact that Nashville is the kind of track he can run well at is impossible to ignore.
Giovanni Ruggiero - $7.2K
Rookie Giovanni Ruggiero has run well this season, posting five top 10s and sitting just outside the top 10 in points despite entering the season with very little hype.
He had a top five at Kansas and was also 15th at Vegas, showcasing upside on intermediate tracks. With that said, he also has three finishes outside the top 20 on intermediates, so he's definitely not a safe play despite flashing some upside.
William Sawalich - $6.8K
It's been a rough year for William Sawalich in Xfinity, but dropping down to the Truck Series this weekend could help get him back on track. It could also just be another example of how he's over his head. At this price, I'll probably sprinkle him in as a cheap boom-or-bust play if he starts outside the top 15.
Matt Mills - $6.3K
Matt Mills has been solid this season, with top 20 finishes in all six intermediate races. His best result was last weekend in Charlotte, when he brought the No. 42 truck home in seventh place.

— Chris Knight (@Knighter01) May 24, 2025
Mills isn't a super exciting option, but he's finished with a positive place differential in seven of the 11 races this season. He's never qualified in the top 10, which has led to an average place differential of +1.7 per race, which factors in a pair of DNFs.
