The 2025 Slim Jim 200 was the 24th stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the final race of the Round of 8, and the 21st iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, October 24, 2025, at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia, a paperclip-shaped short track. The race was contested over 203 laps, extended from 200 laps due to a green-white-checkered finish.
In a wild and caution-filled final stage, Corey Heim, driving for Tricon Garage, would continue his season-long dominance, winning both stages and leading a race-high 77 laps after starting fourth to earn his 22nd career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his record 11th of the season. To fill out the podium, Kaden Honeycutt, driving for Halmar Friesen Racing, and Layne Riggs, driving for Front Row Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
The race would produce one of the most dramatic elimination events in history, as positions 2-5 were separated by only one point at race's end. Kaden Honeycutt and Layne Riggs tied for the final spot, with Honeycutt winning the tiebreaker due to his second-place finish. The rest of the Championship 4 lineup was set, which will be Heim, Ty Majeski, Tyler Ankrum, and Honeycutt.
Following the race, Toyota clinched their 14th manufacturer's championship.
