The 2025 Focused Health 250 was the 17th stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 5th iteration of the event. After a long red flag delay for lightning strikes, the first two stages of the race were held on Friday, June 27, 2025, with the final stage ending on Saturday, June 28. The race was held at EchoPark Speedway in Hampton, Georgia, a 1.54 miles (2.48 km) permanent asphalt quad-oval shaped intermediate speedway (with superspeedway rules). The race took the scheduled 163 laps to complete. In a wreck-filled race, Nick Sanchez, driving for Big Machine Racing, would grab the lead on the final restart and held off the rest of the field to earn his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series win.[9] To fill out the podium, Carson Kvapil, driving for JR Motorsports, and Sam Mayer, driving for Haas Factory Team, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Background
EchoPark Speedway (commonly referred to as Atlanta Motor Speedway) is a 1.54-mile race track in Hampton, Georgia, United States, 20 miles (32 km) south of Atlanta. It has annually hosted NASCAR Xfinity Series stock car races since 1992.
The venue was bought by Speedway Motorsports in 1990. In 1994, 46 condominiums were built over the northeastern side of the track. In 1997, to standardize the track with Speedway Motorsports' other two intermediate ovals, the entire track was almost completely rebuilt. The frontstretch and backstretch were swapped, and the configuration of the track was changed from oval to quad-oval, with a new official length of 1.54-mile (2.48 km) where before it was 1.522-mile (2.449 km). The project made the track one of the fastest on the NASCAR circuit. In July 2021 NASCAR announced that the track would be reprofiled for the 2022 season to have 28 degrees of banking and would be narrowed from 55 to 40 feet which the track claims will turn racing at the track similar to restrictor plate superspeedways. Despite the reprofiling being criticized by drivers, construction began in August 2021 and wrapped up in December 2021.[10][11] The track has seating capacity of 71,000 to 125,000 people depending on the tracks configuration.

Perspective
Qualifying was held on Friday, June 27, at 3:00 PM EST. Since EchoPark Speedway is an intermediate racetrack with superspeedway rules, the qualifying procedure used is a single-car, single-lap system with two rounds. In the first round, drivers have one lap to set a time. The fastest ten drivers from the first round move on to the second round. Whoever sets the fastest time in Round 2 will win the pole.[12]
Due to lightning strikes in the area, only one round of qualifying was contested. Sheldon Creed, driving for Haas Factory Team, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 32.107, and a speed of 172.673 mph (277.890 km/h).[13]
No drivers would fail to qualify.
