iRacing Studios and NASCAR have unveiled the cover for NASCAR 25 featuring William Byron, winner of back-to-back Daytona 500s in 2024 and 2025, Christopher Bell, the 2025 All-Star Race champion and Ryan Blaney, the 2023 Cup Series titleholder.
For the first time in a NASCAR video game, the ARCA Menards Series will be included alongside the Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series, giving players a career path that mirrors the journey of many of the sport’s top drivers.
- NASCAR Cup Series: Featuring the biggest stars and top teams in NASCAR, landing a spot in the Cup Series is every aspiring stock car racer’s dream.
- NASCAR Xfinity Series: NASCAR’s second-tier series features a mix of drivers facing their final proving ground before they step up to Cup, as well as veterans who have made a long-term home racing on Saturdays.
- NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series: Founded in 1995, NASCAR’s lone national tour to feature trucks has carved out a unique place in the hearts of race fans over the past three decades.
- ARCA Menards Series: The initial entry point for many of stock car’s future stars, the ARCA Menards Series will make its first-ever appearance in a NASCAR console game.
All four series are set to anchor Career Mode, where players start out in a backyard garage with the ARCA Menards Series and climb the ladder from there. As the journey unfolds, they’ll sign contracts, manage finances, hire staff, upgrade facilities and build their reputation on the road to becoming a multi-time NASCAR Cup Series champion. Beyond Career Mode, all four series will also be available in quick races, full seasons and online multiplayer.
NASCAR ’25 is scheduled to arrive on October 14 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC version planned for Steam at a later date that has yet to be confirmed.
