The 2025 Andy's Frozen Custard 300 was the 12th stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 21st iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, a {{Convert|1.5|mi|km}} permanent asphalt quad-oval shaped intermediate speedway. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 200 laps, but was increased to 208 due to multiple overtime finishes. In a caution-filled race with a double overtime, Kyle Larson, driving for JR Motorsports as a substitute driver for Connor Zilisch, would take over the lead in the final stages, and held off the field in two-overtime restarts to earn his 17th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his second of the season.{{Cite web |date=May 3, 2025 |title=Kyle Larson subs for Connor Zilisch at Texas, wins in double overtime |url=https://www.jayski.com/2025/05/03/kyle-larson-subs-for-connor-zilisch-at-texas-wins-in-double-overtime/ |access-date=May 3, 2025 |website=Jayski.com |publisher=Jayski's Silly Season Site}} Larson's teammate Justin Allgaier dominated the majority of the race, winning the first stage and leading a race-high 99 laps, before being involved in a late-race incident with Kris Wright, ending his chances and finishing 35th.{{Cite web |last=Howard |first=Jonathan |date=May 3, 2025 |title=Justin Allgaier accepts blame for late race wreck at Texas |url=https://www.on3.com/pro/news/justin-allgaier-accepts-blame-for-late-race-wreck-at-texas/ |access-date=May 3, 2025 |website=On3 |publisher=On3.com}} To fill out the podium, Taylor Gray and Riley Herbst, both driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
