    Published on

    After an action-packed SciAps 300, the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series has arrived at Rockingham Speedway in Rockingham, North Carolina. The North Carolina Education Lottery 250 will be live on CW at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 19. The tenth race of the 2025 Xfinity Series season will be contested at the 1.017-mile-long D-shaped oval track.

    A total of 38 Xfinity Series drivers in Rockingham will compete in the 235-mile race for a chance to drive down Victory Lane.


    Who is on pole for the North Carolina Education Lottery 250?

    In Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series qualifying race, JR Motorsports driver Connor Zilisch won the North Carolina Education Lottery 250 pole with a lap time of 22.630 and a speed of 149.536 mph. It marked his fourth career pole in the series. However, the Xfinity Series rookie will start from the rear of the field due to a flat tire.

    Alpha Prime Racing driver Parker Retzlaff will share the front row with him after registering a lap of 149.529 mph. The pair will be followed by Nick Sanchez, Kasey Kahne, and William Sawalich, rounding out the top five.

    Brandon Jones, Jesse Love, the defending series champion Justin Allgaier, Christian Eckes, and Austin Hill are also in the top 10 of the starting lineup for the main event.

    Katherine Legge and Dawson Cram are the two drivers who failed to qualify for the race.
