- 2025 Daytona 500 Sold Out
Press Release | DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY Daytona International Speedway announced today that the 67th running of the DAYTONA 500 is officially sold out, with fans expected to pack the historic racing venue once again for NASCAR’s 2025 season opener. Along with the sellout announcement, the World Center of Racing has also released the date for next year’s DAYTONA 500, which will take place on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026. Year after year, the Great American Race reigns as one of the most anticipated events in the motorsport world, and starting today, fans can sign up for exclusive pre-sale access for infield camping and tickets to next year’s event to ensure they secure their seats in advance. “The DAYTONA 500 continues to be a spectacle of elite racing and entertainment, and the consecutive sellouts just prove this event is one of a kind,” said Frank Kelleher, President of Daytona international Speedway. “You can quite literally feel the atmosphere from the moment Speedweeks begins. The crowd is buzzing with excitement and every team, from the driver to the crew chief, is eager to get their season started. It all comes to a head when that green flag drops on Sunday, Feb. 16, and I can’t wait to see what this year’s DAYTONA 500 has in store for us.” After a wildly competitive 2024 season that saw 18 different race winners, three of the closest finishes in NASCAR history, and crowned Joey Logano as a three-time Champion, the season opening DAYTONA 500 is sure to be a thriller. Last year, William Byron came out on top after a hectic last few laps, earning his first DAYTONA 500 Championship and securing the victory for Hendrick Motorsports in their 40th anniversary year. He’ll become the latest driver to attempt back-to-back victories of The Great American Race. The last driver to win consecutive DAYTONA 500s was Denny Hamlin, who earned the title in 2019 and 2020. Though grandstand tickets and camping are sold out for Sunday’s marquee event, limited upgrades and premium packages are still available. Fans can also catch plenty of the action during the multi-day racing and entertainment extravaganza that is Speedweeks Presented by AdventHealth. The competition begins on Wednesday, Feb. 12 with DAYTONA 500 Qualifying presented by Busch Light, setting the front row for The Great American Race. Qualifying also sets the field for a pair of head-to-head battles in the Duel At DAYTONA on Thursday, Feb. 13, where drivers fight for their starting position in the 67th running of the DAYTONA 500. The intensity increases on Friday, Feb. 14 as the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series season-opening Fresh From Florida 250 takes the green flag under the lights of the famed track. Then on Saturday, Feb. 15, fans can enjoy a jam-packed day of on-track action with the kickoff to the ARCA Menards Series season followed by the United Rentals 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series race. Then on Sunday, after a performance filled with international chart-toppers from Mr. Worldwide himself, drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series will fire up their engines and get the 2025 season underway in this year’s DAYTONA 500. With all four series kicking off their season at Daytona, each driver will be fighting to start their year with a win, putting everything on the line at one of the biggest races on the schedules. Fans can enjoy the fierce competition all week long, as well as multiple different entertainment performances, fan activations and race day festivities.

(Jan. 13, 2025) – With the NHRA set for its 74th season of racing in 2025, the countdown is on for the start of the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series and it doesn’t get much bigger than the season-opening Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals, which kicks off the year March 6-9 at Gainesville Raceway.

- Hélio Castroneves Locked Into Daytona 500
NASCAR.COM Hélio Castroneves and Trackhouse Racing intend to utilize NASCAR’s new Open Exemption Provisional to secure a starting spot in the 2025 Daytona 500, NASCAR confirmed Friday. Announced Friday among numerous competition updates ahead of the 2025 season, the Open Exemption Provisional provides a guaranteed starting position “for world-class drivers who enter a NASCAR Cup Series race.” The provisional is similar to a “promoter’s choice provisional” utilized in short-track racing and dirt racing to ensure a high-caliber driver’s entry into a feature race. Castroneves meets those qualifications as a four-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 and three-time champion of the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway. Trackhouse Racing announced Castroneves’ entry to the Daytona 500 on Jan. 6 in the team’s No. 91 Chevrolet as part of its Project 91 initiative. If Castroneves and Trackhouse opt to utilize the provisional, the starting field of the “Great American “Race” will expand to 41 cars from its previous 40-vehicle limit.

- RFK Racing and Fastenal Celebrating 15 Years of NASCAR Partnership
Press Release | RFK RACING RFK Racing and primary partner Fastenal Company (Nasdaq: FAST) will celebrate their 15th season of partnership in 2025. Fastenal, which recently extended its relationship with RFK, is one of the longest-tenured brands in NASCAR. When Fastenal initially teamed up with RFK in 2010, they were paired with NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Carl Edwards. Today, Fastenal is a primary partner for NASCAR Champion Chris Buescher and his No. 17 Ford, serving as the longest-tenured brand within RFK’s large family of partners. “We’re incredibly proud to celebrate 15 years with Fastenal,” said Steve Newmark, President of RFK Racing. “They have been an integral part of our journey, both on and off the track, and their ‘Blue Team’ has become part of the RFK family. They’re integrated into everything we do, and their supply chain expertise is critical to our ability to build and maintain fast race cars. We look forward to building on this strong foundation to achieve even greater things together in the years to come.” “Our partnership with RFK Racing has elevated and strengthened the Fastenal brand with millions of NASCAR fans,” said Fastenal’s CEO, Dan Florness. “It’s more than just putting our name on the car. We work closely with their team to achieve our marketing goals, and they rely on our team for supply chain expertise. We’re excited to continue the collaboration in 2025.” Fastenal’s iconic blue paint scheme will return to the track with RFK in 2025 and beyond, with Chris Buescher driving in most of the events. 2025 will also see an expanded presence of Fastenal’s Body Guard® brand on the track. The orange and black Body Guard® paint scheme will grace all three RFK Racing entries during the season, including team co-owner Brad Keselowski (No. 6) and team newcomer Ryan Preece (No. 60). A Look in the Rearview Mirror With Fastenal as the primary partner, Carl Edwards and the No. 60 Xfinity Series team won the 2011 owners’ championship. The Fastenal brand was also on board when Buescher’s No. 60 secured the 2015 Xfinity Series championship. Fellow NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Matt Kenseth has also appeared behind the wheel of a Fastenal Ford for RFK Racing, as have Greg Biffle, Trevor Bayne, and Bubba Wallace. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. piloted the No. 17 Fastenal Ford in the Cup Series from 2015 to 2019. Overall, Fastenal has supported, and served as a primary partner with, nine different RFK drivers during the partnership. Fastenal Fords have made just shy of 300 starts with RFK Racing in NASCAR action since 2010. During that time, RFK and Fastenal have accumulated 10 victories and 87 top-10 finishes together to go along with a pair of NASCAR Championships. (Photo Courtesy NASCAR)
- Racing Refresh Team Previews - Front Row Motorsports (Truck Series)
By Adam Carabine Front Row Motorsports (Truck Series) Two full-time entries in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Truck No. 38 Layne Riggs Layne Riggs in Phoenix in 2024 - Photo by Meg Oliphant/Getty Images 2024 Stats Layne Riggs drove the 38 for Front Row last season as well Final Standings Position – 11th Best 2024 Finish – P1, at the Milwaukee Mile and Bristol Points – 595 Average Finish – 16.57 Career Truck Series Stats – Layne Riggs Starts – 29 Wins – 2 Best Career Season Finish Position – 11th in 2024 with Front Row Motorsports ---------- Truck No. TBA Chandler Smith Chandler Smith after winning the pole at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2024 - Photo by James Gilbert/Getty Images 2024 Stats Chandler Smith drove full-time in the Xfinity Series with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2024 Final Standings Position – 5th Best 2024 Finish – P1, at Phoenix and Richmond Points – 2,314 Average Finish – 10.27 Career Truck Series Stats Starts – 62 Wins – 5 Best Career Season Finish Position – 3rd, with Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2022 2025 Hopes and Expectations Front Row Motorsports expands their Craftsman Truck Series program by adding a second full-time ride in 2025. Despite missing the playoffs, Layne Riggs had an impressive run in his first full-time Truck Series season last year. His two wins came after the playoffs began. Adding Chandler Smith, a driver who has shown some promise in the Truck Series before, gives Front Row some star power. Smith likely could have stayed in the Xfinity Series after narrowly missing the Final Four last season, but could easily be a title contender in the Truck Series this season.
- Racing Refresh Team Previews - Williams Racing (F1)
By Ryan Wu Williams Racing Two full-time entries in Formula One Car No. 23 Alex Albon Photo from www.x.com/alex_albon 2024 Stats Alex Albon drove in this ride last year as well Final Standings Position – 16th Best 2024 Finish – P7 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix Points – 12 Career Formula One Stats – Alex Albon Starts – 104 Wins – 0 Podiums – 2 ---------- Car No. 55 Carlos Sainz Jr. Photo from www.x.com/Carlossainz55 2024 Stats Sainz drove for Ferrari last season Final Standings Position – 5th Best 2024 Finish – P1 twice, at the Australian and Mexico City Grand Prix Points – 290 Career Formula One Stats – Carlos Sainz Jr. Starts – 206 Wins – 4 Podiums – 27 2025 Hopes and Expectations Williams welcomes Carlos Sainz for the 2025 season, signing the Spaniard to a two-year deal after his four-year stint at Ferrari. Sainz reportedly turned down offers from Alpine and Kick Sauber to join the team. Williams hopes Sainz will bring the consistency they lacked with Logan Sargeant, who struggled to score points and was out-qualified 13-0 by teammate Alexander Albon. With Albon continuing to mature and improve, the team aims to secure more points and surpass their 9th-place finish in last year’s standings. Team principal James Vowles revealed in August that the 2025 car has undergone extensive wind tunnel testing, which they hope will enable a stronger start—unlike last season, where they failed to score points until the Monaco Grand Prix, the 8th race. Bold prediction With an improved car and Sainz’s consistency, Williams climbs to 7th in the standings, the position they achieved in 2017.

They lost veteran driver Michael McDowell after last season, and have put all their faith into the new leader of the team, Todd Gilliland. It may be a bit of a youth movement at FRM, but there are still some high expectations. Each of these three drivers are all looking for their first win in the NASCAR Cup Series, and while they may not all get it this year, Front Row would be pleased to score one and get one of their cars into the playoffs.

He has 0 wins across his entire Truck Series career. He spent last season full-time in the ARCA Menards Series, where he finished 3rd overall. Since Anthony Alfredo did a valiant job in the 5 car last year, Our Motorsports’ goal should be to carry that momentum forward and challenge for a playoff spot. Whether Wright is up for the job remains to be seen.
- NASCAR Releases Rule Book Bulletin With Several Updates for 2025
NASCAR NASCAR today released a rule book bulletin with several sporting updates for the 2025 season. Below are the most noteworthy changes, with further detail: Open Exemption Provisional Similar to a ‘promoter’s provisional’ used in short track and dirt racing, the Open Exemption Provisional (OEP) guarantees a starting position for world-class drivers who enter a NASCAR Cup Series race. If the OEP is used, the driver/car owner will NOT be eligible for race points, playoff points, prize money, or any tiebreaker benefit of finishing position. Non-OEP cars’ prize money, race and stage points (but not playoff points) will be adjusted upward by one position, starting from the finishing position of the OEP car and continuing for the remainder of the field. If the provisional car wins a race and/or stage, that car will be credited with the race win (including trophy and All-Star eligibility), but the finish will NOT count towards playoff eligibility. The second-place finisher will inherit first-place points, but will NOT receive playoff points or playoff eligibility Criteria for approval will be on a case-by-case basis, with prior racing resume a significant contributor. Full-time NASCAR drivers are not eligible. A race team must request the provisional 90 days prior to an event. Damaged Vehicle Policy (NASCAR Cup Series only) Vehicles placed on DVP may drive to the garage or be towed to the garage and will NOT be out of the race. The 7-minute clock (8 at Atlanta) remains active for vehicles making repairs on pit road. When the clock expires, the vehicle must go to the garage to continue work. There is no clock for repairs made in the garage. If a car leaves its pit box and the clock expires prior to the car hitting the pit-out yellow line, a penalty will be issued. Vehicles unable to drive to pit road, whether because of damage or flat tires, will be towed to the garage. Playoff Waivers If a Playoff Waiver is granted for missing a race, the driver will forfeit all current and future Playoff Points (earned prior to the Playoffs), and will start the Playoffs with a maximum of 2,000 points. Exceptions to the forfeit of Playoff points includes medical reason (driver medical, birth of a child, family emergency, etc.) and age restrictions. Practice & Qualifying New practice and qualifying procedures, which were announced in December , were formally added to the rule book. Performance Obligation Verbiage around the 100% rule is replaced with a focus on “manipulating” the outcome of an event / championship. OEM Penalties Rules violations by an OEM may result in a loss of Manufacturers Points, and/or loss of wind tunnel hours, and/or loss of RCFD runs. Penalties will be assessed for violation of the Vehicle Testing Policy, wind tunnel policy, event roster and Code of Conduct policy. Suspension Deferral All suspensions that are a result of a technical penalty can be deferred without appeal for the next race following the issuance of a penalty. All other suspensions are effective immediately. (Photo Courtesy NASCAR)
