What you need to know ahead of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season
The NASAR 2025 Cup season is officially here.
The DayTona 500 begins over 36 cup races in the 38 weeks. Throw in the All-Star race in May, and there is only one weekend throughout the season. This comes at the weekend on Easter on April 20. From there, the best series of NASCAR series 28 times in 28 weeks.
Here’s what you need to know before the season, along with the selection of the championship and the competitors for the qualifiers. If you need to catch up with all the driver’s movement before the season, too, I covered it.
Joy Logano in a strange year
Logano became a three -time champion in the November Cup series when he won his fourth race for this season to capture the winner of the winner in 2024. Logano won the title in 2018, 2022 and 2024, so that we can race this year, right?
It would be stupid to do this actually, but it should be noted that Logano has never qualified for the race that gets everything outside the year. Since 2014, Logano points in marital years end fourth, second, first, third, first and first. In the individual years, Logano ranked sixth, seventeenth, fifth, eight and twelfth.
Moving forward and Logano pencil in the 2026 title race.
Can anyone join him as a repeated hero?
Logano occupies a rare area. It is the only active driver with more than two cup titles, while Kyle Busch is the only active driver with multiple championships.
With the retirement of Martin Truex Jr. From the full -time race, there are only four other active drivers with cup chain titles; Brad Kislovsky (2012), Chis Elliot (2020), Kyle Larson (2021) and Ryan Balani (2023).
All four have decent shots for the second cup chain title. They were in the qualifiers before a season, and three of the four were lost in the first seven positions in arranging points. Blaney ranked second in Logano in Phoenix in November, while Larson led 1700 rolls in 2024.
Who is the best bet to become a hero for the first time?
There are three clear options between Christopher Bell, William Peron and Tyler Riddik. Both byron and Reddick had concluded a season while Bell was in a position that allowed him to race the third consecutive title before the NASCAR referee in the Carnival was the Martinsville Fall race.
My religion is permanently included in this category as well. The Dynona Champion has passed 500 three times Mark Martin as the most successful driver who never wins the cup chain. But he also did not qualify for the title race since the 2021 season. Hameen, 44 years old, enters the 2025 season with a new crew at Chris Gayel, and for the first time since he was in Jeeps Residence atmosphere, some vacancies in his car. With the departure of the shepherd Fedex from NASCAR, the advertisement of the hamlin is assembled together. Will this have any effect on performance?
A new television deal in NASCAR
FOX and NBC are no longer the only two companies with a series of cup. Amazon will damage the cup races for the first time in 2025, while TNT is again in the broadcast fold.
Here is how you will work. Fox has the first 12 points of the year before the Amazon Five broadcasts. Next, TNT has five races before NBC pick up the last 14 races of the year. Outside the period before the DayTona 500, the Prime will have training and qualification for the next 16 race before TNT broadcasts the rest of the season. CW will get the entire Series Series season and Fox networks will again broadcast the TRCK series.
If you are a person who does not subscribe to many TV channels and/or Amazon Prime, you will not be able to see many NASCAR races across your air. There are eight out of 36 points only on the main channels of Fox or NBC and there is no race in May, June or July on the TV on the air.
Schedule changes
The only new race in the schedule It is a trip to Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico. The June race will be the first time that the cup chain raced the path, although the Xfinity series had previously competed for the path that annually hosts the F1 race.
Watkins Glen has returned to the date of the previous August and Homestead was also transferred from the qualifiers. In their places, there are races in New Hampshire and Gate, while Taldiga is now the race for a match in the third round. The Homstead was the perfect qualifying course – and the title hosting of the title must be – but it is now hosting the sixth race for this season on March 23.
Who makes the qualifiers?
Logano, Bill, Balni, Peron, Elliot, Hameen, Larson and Riddik can easily wander in the qualifiers. Chase Briscoe there should also be there in its first season in Racing Joe Gibbs. Keselowski and his teammate Chris Boucher should be strong competitors in the qualifiers.
To leave five other locations in the 16 -driver field. We believe that Josh Perry can enter the Wood brothers. He is his best driver since he was Blaney with the team. Throwing in Ross Chaastin, Tae Gibbs and Alex Bowman as well. This is 15.
We will give Bush’s last place, although he is a bet on his talent more than he is in the Richard Celsies race. The team was terrible in 2024 and lost the benefits of winning with Austin Delon’s victory in Richmond because of the way the drivers toured to win.
Hero
We will take four finals from Bill, Balani, Elliot and Larson. Larson is preferred before assuming to win tiles and fully understand the reason. But we will go with Bill to win the first cup chain title and the first tournament for Toyota driver since 2019.
