Along with the hefty winner’s prize, the event will have $3,200 in bonus awards and will pay $1,200 to start.

The showcase event is a fund-raising event for The Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit conservation and outreach organization. It has been moved to South Boston Speedway for 2025 after being held last year at Orange County Speedway.

"We are very excited to bring the Krush 250 to South Boston Speedway this year,” said former NASCAR star and Daytona 500 winner Ward Burton. “We are grateful for our partners at State Water Heaters, Rogers Heating & Cooling and everyone at South Boston Speedway for making this all possible.”

“I’m excited to bring this race back to my hometown—a place filled with history for my dad, my uncle, and myself,” added NASCAR Xfinity Series standout Jeb Burton, a multi-time winner in the series. “Last year’s event was a big success for WBWF, and I believe this year will be even bigger. I'll be back behind the wheel again. Last year, I finished sixth and hoping to improve that performance at my home track in front of thousands of fans as well as friends and family."

Advance tickets are $20 each. Tickets at the gate on race day will be $25 each. Event ticket sales will benefit The Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation.

Fans may also take advantage of a special Ward Burton and Jeb Burton meet-and-greet suite package for $100. The package includes an indoor suite seat with a 30-minute question-and-answer, meet and greet session for guests with former Daytona 500 winner Ward Burton and NASCAR Xfinity Series winner Jeb Burton.

The Burtons will join guests in the suite, answer questions, sign autographs and take photos. Each guest will also receive a Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation hero card and branded Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation item.
