The 2025 Star Nursery 150 presented by the West Coast Stock Car Motorsports Hall of Fame was the 11th stock car race of the 2025 ARCA Menards Series West season, and the 7th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, October 10, 2025, at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada, a 0.375 mile (0.604 km) permanent oval-shaped short track. The race took the scheduled 150 laps to complete. Trevor Huddleston, driving for High Point Racing, would show another dominating performance, leading a race-high 105 laps from the pole position to earn his ninth career ARCA Menards Series West win, his fourth of the season, and his second consecutive win.[5] To fill out the podium, Connor Hall, driving for Sigma Performance Services, and Robbie Kennealy, driving for Jan's Towing Racing, would finish second and third, respectively.
This was the final race for driver Nick Joanides, who died two months later. His race was curtailed by a nasty wreck on lap 88, and he suffered a broken leg, compounding a "life-threatening sickness" that the driver had been suffering from for more than two years.[6] This was also the final ARCA race for Venturini Motorsports as an organization, as the team announced on April 18 that they would shut down their operations, transferring ownership to Nitro Motorsports on October 15.[7]
Report
Background
Las Vegas Motor Speedway, located in Clark County, Nevada outside the Las Vegas city limits and about 15 miles northeast of the Las Vegas Strip, is a 1,200-acre (490 ha) complex of multiple tracks for motorsports racing. The complex is owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc., which is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In 1985, the complex built a 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) oval that was assisted with donations of barriers that were used in the Caesars Palace Grand Prix.[8] In 2000, the track was modified to become 3⁄8 mile (0.60 km) and was renamed the "Bullring".[9]
