The 2025 Heart of Health Care 200 was the 9th stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 25th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, May 10, 2024, at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent asphalt quad-oval shaped intermediate speedway. The race took the scheduled 134 laps to complete. In a wild finish, Carson Hocevar, driving for Spire Motorsports, would survive an aggressive last-lap battle with Layne Riggs. Both drivers made contact in turn two, putting both of them in the wall. Hocevar ended up prevailing and held off Riggs to earn his fifth career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his first of the season.[9] Following post-race inspection, Riggs was disqualified due to a bed cover violation, and was credited with a 31st place finish.[10] Corey Heim dominated the early stages of the race, winning the first stage and leading the first 52 laps, before facing several amounts of adversity in the final stage, including a pit road mishap on lap 53, and a restart violation on lap 103. He eventually rebounded to finish third following Riggs' disqualification.[11] To fill out the podium, William Byron, driving for Spire Motorsports, would be credited with second place, respectively.
