The 2025 MillerTech Battery 200 was the 14th stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 16th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, June 20, 2025, at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, a permanent triangular-shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 80 laps to complete.
Layne Riggs, driving for Front Row Motorsports, would take advantage of the leader's late mishaps, and led the final 20 laps of the race to earn his third career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his first of the season. To fill out the podium, Tanner Gray, driving for Tricon Garage, and Kaden Honeycutt, driving for Niece Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
Corey Heim would continue to put on a clinic performance, winning the second stage and leading a race-high 48 laps, before sustaining a flat tire with over 20 laps to go, forcing him to pit and lose the lead on the restart. With no more cautions occurring, Heim came home with a 23rd place finish. Carson Hocevar took over the second position, before receiving a restart violation for jumping before the leader. It was his second one of the season, which caused him to end his chances of winning. Hocevar rebounded to finish 13th.
