The 2025 DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 was the 13th stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and the 1st iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan, a 2.0 mile (3.2 km) permanent asphalt oval shaped intermediate racetrack. The race was contested over 139 laps, extended from 125 laps due to a triple overtime finish.
In an action-packed race with numerous late cautions, Stewart Friesen, driving for his team, Halmar Friesen Racing, held off Grant Enfinger in a triple overtime thriller to earn his fourth career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his first of the season, breaking a 72-race winless streak dating back to the 2022 SpeedyCash.com 220. To fill out the podium, pole-sitter Luke Fenhaus, driving for ThorSport Racing, would finish in 3rd, respectively.
The race was mainly dominated by Carson Hocevar and Corey Heim, with Heim winning both stages and Hocevar leading a race-high 56 laps. Heim was involved in a restart pileup on lap 122, and fell back to finish 18th. Hocevar was given a restart violation on the second overtime attempt and dropped to the rear of the field, rebounding to finish 11th.
With a race distance of 278 miles (447 km), it was the longest Truck Series race in history, surpassing the 2019 NextEra Energy 250 by just half a mile.
Report
Background
Michigan International Speedway is a two-mile (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located in Brooklyn, Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is known as a "sister track" to Texas World Speedway as MIS's oval design was a direct basis of TWS, with moderate modifications to the banking in the corners, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by International Speedway Corporation. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards).

Qualifying Qualifying was held on Saturday, June 7, at 8:05 AM EST.

Drivers will be on track by themselves and will have one lap to post a qualifying time, and whoever sets the fastest time in that session will win the pole.
Road course qualifying rules were in effect. The timing line was set in Turn 3, where cars exited pit road, and drove five-eighths of a lap, then took the green flag in the north chute exiting Turn 3, and completed their lap there the next time by.
