The 2005 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series was the eleventh season of the Craftsman Truck Series, the pickup truck racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. Ted Musgrave of Ultra Motorsports was crowned the season's champion. A rule change affected the qualification process in 2005. The top 30 teams in the owners' standings at the end of the 2004 season saw their drivers qualify automatically for the first four races of the season, provided they attempted all races in the previous year. However, only 29 teams met the criteria, so at the start of the season, one additional spot was available for the remaining teams on the entry list. After the fourth race, current standings were used to determine the teams guaranteed to have their drivers in the field. 2005 teams and drivers Full-time teams Manufacturer Team No. Truck number Driver(s) Crew chief Chevrolet Billy Ballew Motorsports 15 Kerry Earnhardt 2 1-2 Richie Wauters Shane Hmiel 4 3-6 Kyle Busch 11 7-8, 10, 17-19, 21-25 Johnny Sauter 1 9 Martin Truex Jr. 1 11 John Andretti 4 12, 14-16 Blake Feese 1 13 David Gilliland 1 20 Kevin Harvick, Inc. 6 Ron Hornaday Jr. Wally Rogers Morgan-Dollar Motorsports 46 Dennis Setzer Eric Phillips Spears Motorsports 75 David Starr Dave McCarty Sutton Motorsports 02 Kelly Sutton Jason Weissman 8 1-8 Franklin Hinson 3 9-11 Pete Hinson 3 12-14 Cal Boprey 11 15-25 ThorSport Racing 13 Tracy Hines 23 1-23 Lance Hooper 1 1 Kevin Cram 1 2 Shane Tesch 23 3-25 Chad Chaffin 1 24 Johnny Sauter 1 25 88 Matt Crafton Bud Haefele Xpress Motorsports 16 Jack Sprague 20 1-20 Chris Showalter Bobby Labonte 1 21 Mike Bliss 4 22-25 Dodge Bobby Hamilton Racing Renshaw's No. 8 truck was run by this team under the name BHR2.

The championship victory vindicated both Musgrave and Ultra Motorsports after their controversial defeat in the 2003 championship. This would be Ultra Motorsports' final race, as the team would shut down in early 2006 after a planned deal with Ford fell through.

Timothy Peters and Shigeaki Hattori were the only other drivers to fulfill the Rookie of the Year Award's requirement that drivers compete in at least eight of the first 20 races to be eligible. Peters had two top-tens, while Hattori struggled and was released from Germain Racing. Regan Smith was the only other rookie to run more than ten races, as Clay Rogers, Nick Tucker, Jimmy Kite, and Kerry Earnhardt saw their seasons end early.
