NASCAR 2025 Cup Series schedule announced
NASCAR drivers discuss the career and legacy of Martin Truex Jr.
Martin Truex Jr. recently announced he will retire from NASCAR at the end of the season, so we asked the drivers at USA TODAY 301 about his legacy.
The schedule for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series will look very different from the 2024 season. Among other things, several racetracks will switch to a 10-race playoff to determine the series champion.
The Athletic reported the full 2025 NASCAR Cup Series schedule on Wednesday, including some races already announced, expected changes and some unexpected moves.
Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, will host the season-opening Clash, the annual non-points event that has been held at the LA Coliseum for the past three years.
The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City will host the first Cup Series points race outside the USA in 67 years. The street race, which also marks the annual stop of Formula 1, is scheduled for June.
The annual race at Nashville Superspeedway will be moved from its usual late June date to early June. The race is scheduled for June 1, one week after the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Here is the tentative schedule for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.
