The eero 250 is a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Richmond Raceway. Corey Heim is the defending race winner.

History

The race was initially held from 1995 to 2005 before being removed from the schedule in 2006. In the race's first stint on the Truck Series schedule, it was 200 laps.

2021 ToyotaCare 250

In 2020, NASCAR removed the spring Truck Series race at Martinsville Speedway in favor of a race at Richmond Raceway in the spring. This schedule change was done in a swap with Martinsville, which previously had two Truck Series races and zero Xfinity Series races and would now have one Truck Series race and one Xfinity Series race. As a result, the Xfinity Series would lose their spring race at Richmond in favor of a race at Martinsville in the fall. In its first year back on the schedule in 2020, the race was extended to 250 laps and the race would be moved to September due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2][3] The race would be held as scheduled in April in 2021. In 2022, the race was moved to August. Worldwide Express would become the title sponsor of the race as Toyota moved their title sponsorship to the track's one Xfinity Series race (replacing GoBowling.com as the title sponsor of that race).[4]

In 2024, the race was sponsored by Clean Harbors.[5] The following year, eero took over the naming rights of the race.
