The 2025 US Marine Corps 250 was the 7th stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the fifth iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, March 30, 2025, at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia, a 0.526 miles (0.847 km) permanent asphalt paper-clip shaped short track. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 250 laps, but was increased to 256 laps due to an overtime finish. In a caution-filled race with a highly controversial finish, Austin Hill, driving for Richard Childress Racing, would steal the win on the final lap after Sammy Smith spun the leader of Taylor Gray in the final turn. Hill snuck through on the inside lane and took the lead to earn his 12th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his second of the season. After the race, Gray confronted Smith near the infield care center, displeased with the move. Connor Zilisch started on the pole and dominated the majority of the race, winning both stages and leading a race-high 100 laps, before being involved in late race incidents, finishing 28th. To fill out the podium, Sheldon Creed, driving for Haas Factory Team, and Justin Allgaier, driving for JR Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
This was also the second race of the Dash 4 Cash. Drivers eligible for the D4C were Justin Allgaier, Sam Mayer, Austin Hill, and Sheldon Creed, since they were the highest finishing Xfinity regulars following the race at Homestead. Hill claimed the $100K bonus cash after winning the race.
