Career Mode will kick off in your backyard garage, where you’ll customize your vehicle before making your debut in the ARCA Menards Series and honing your skills to advance up the ranks. There’s more to a successful career than just racing - you’ll sign contracts, earn money, hire staff, expand your facilities, and make public appearances to build your reputation. Strategic choices off the track will play a pivotal role in your journey to becoming a NASCAR Cup Series champion.

On the racetrack, you’ll have more interaction with your crew chief and spotter than ever before.

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 their decades of racing expertise - including developers who worked on fan-favorite NASCAR games like NASCAR Racing 2003, NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona, and entries from the NASCAR Thunder series - to NASCAR 25 to make the ultimate NASCAR video game experience.

Befitting of the famous Daytona International Speedway at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 race on Saturday, iRacing Studios and NASCAR unveiled NASCAR 25’s cover, featuring superstar drivers William Byron (‘24/’25 Daytona 500 Champion), Christopher Bell (‘25 NASCAR All-Star Race Champion), and Ryan Blaney (‘23 NASCAR Cup Series Champion).

When asked about the honor, Byron said, “It's really special to be on the cover because it’s one of those moments in your career where you feel like you've made it.”

Bell added, “I just remember being a kid and going every single year when the new games would come out, and I’d wait to see who was going to be on the cover. The fact that I'm on the cover is something that I never would have dreamed of in a million years.”

In addition to these driving demons, iRacing Studios is proud to unveil the official NASCAR 25 soundtrack! The tracklist features “Time Bomb” by Whiskey Myers, “Hypnotize” by System of a Down, “Liar” by Jelly Roll, “Burn It Down” by Parker McCollum, and more! Listen to the soundtrack on Spotify.

The four series coming to NASCAR 25 are as follows:

• 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, 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 represented in NASCAR 25 will also be fully accessible in other gameplay modes including quick races, seasons, and online multiplayer. Information on specific cars, drivers, and teams appearing in NASCAR 25 will be released in due course.

NASCAR 25 is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 14, 2025, followed by PC shortly after.
