iRacing and NASCAR have revealed that NASCAR 25 is launching on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 14, 2025, with PC via Steam to follow soon after.
NASCAR 25 is the first standalone NASCAR console title produced by iRacing, the developers behind the most authentic motorsport racing simulation in the world. iRacing is bringing decades of racing expertise to NASCAR 25, including developers who worked on fan-favorite NASCAR games like NASCAR Racing 2003, NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona, and entries from the NASCAR Thunder series.

All four series, along with real drivers from each, will feature extensively in NASCAR 25’s Career Mode, where you’ll customize your own driver and vehicles, manage contracts, money, facility, and staff, and make strategic choices on and off the track that play a pivotal role in your journey to becoming a NASCAR Cup Series champion. The four series are also playable in other gameplay modes such as quick races, seasons, and online multiplayer.

Seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who has run only two Cup races this season, says “there’s a chance that I run more races next year.”

One of those races, he hopes, will be the inaugural street race at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego next June.

That event has special meaning for Johnson, who grew up in El Cajon, California, about 15 miles east of San Diego.

While San Diego would be a special place for Johnson to run his final Cup race next Father’s Day (June 21), the co-owner of Legacy Motor Club said he still wants to race more in NASCAR’s premier series even as he’s set to turn 50 in September.

“I want to keep going,” Johnson said in response to a question from NBC Sports about his future plans. “I want to stay in a car. I think it’s good for us.
“We’re hopeful to have a third charter. Need to start building a team. There’s a chance that I run more races next year if we have a third charter on the docket and have a sponsor to bring along, team members to groom, a crew chief to get reps, a driver to get reps. There’s a lot of scenarios that are in play. I’m hopeful I can keep going.

I just tuned to the Xfinity race. Sam Mayer has the lead over Sheldon Creed and Nick Sanchez.

Damn. Rain's getting closer to the track.

Rain has arrived with 19 laps to go.

I take that back. Rain never came and the race has restarted with 14 to go.

 

[Wolverine]

Dammit. Allgaier hits the wall.

Caution out with 9 laps to go. Almirola clipped Hill, but Hill ends up spinning him.

 

[Wolverine]

The red flag's out with 8 to go.

Connor Zilitsch wins the Xfinity race at Indianapolis~!!! That's three wins in a row for him. Also, the 100th win for JR Motorsports!

 

[Wolverine]

Chase Briscoe wins the pole for tomorrow's race.

Austin Hill better be suspended

 

[Wolverine]

Austin Hill better be suspended

He should. It was totally classless. absolutely no respect and a huge embarrassment to the people who had to deal with his childish antics.

 

[O-Blaze]

Look how great a points battle we could be having.

Connor being 34 back WITH MISSING A RACE is impressive.

Sam leading without a win is also crazy. He's been sneaky consistent.

The Brickyard 400's less than an hour away folks.
