2025 Hopes and Expectations

TRICON Garage was one of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series’ best teams last season, largely due to Corey Heim.  There’s only one thing Heim could improve upon from last season, and that’s to win the championship – so he will likely have his sights set on that.  With the departure of Hailie Deegan from NASCAR to the IndyCar world, Toni Breidinger now steps up as the sole full-time female competitor across all three series.  She’s shown some promise down in the ARCA Series, and it will be interesting to see how she fares in the Trucks.  Tanner Gray has been looking for his first Truck Series win for years now, and 2025 might be the year to check that off of his bucket list.  Gio Ruggiero is a bit of a wildcard, as he doesn’t have a ton of starts under his belt in any of the ARCA Series (though he does have a win at Five Flags Speedway). 

 

Heim will be the leader of this team, but TRICON will hope that Breidinger and Ruggiero can get up to speed quickly and compete.
