Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n From humble beginnings in the Carolinas and across the Southeast, NASCAR has grown into not only the most popular form of auto racing in the United States, but also one that can attract the intrigue and attention of the rest of the world. And the places that NASCAR seeks to go, but also the place where it came from, is reflected in where its premier division will be racing in 2025.<\/p>\n The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season features not only familiar stops from the superspeedways of Daytona and Talladega to the sport’s most iconic tracks like Darlington, Charlotte and Martinsville, but also two new additions to the schedule both near and far away. The year began with Chase Elliott winning The Clash at the legendary Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C., while Shane van Gisbergen would win at Aut\u00f3dromo Hermanos Rodr\u00edguez in Mexico City, scoring the win in the first international Cup Series race in NASCAR’s modern era and the first overall since 1958.<\/p>\n Five of the last seven races have seen new winners put themselves on the playoff grid, with one in particular using his exceptional strengths as a road racer to further embolden his playoff position. Shane van Gisbergen earned his first two wins of the season on road courses at Mexico City and the Chicago Street Course, with still more opportunities for him to flex his muscle as NASCAR’s best road racer at Sonoma and Watkins Glen.<\/p>\n NASCAR Chicago 2025 results: Shane van Gisbergen continues his road racing mastery with second win of 2025<\/p>\n \n Steven Taranto <\/p>\n Among the other major changes to the remaining schedule this year include:<\/p>\n (* — Denotes non-points race)<\/p>\n Feb. 2 —\u00a0Cook Out Clash<\/span>\u00a0— Bowman Gray Stadium* (Winner: Chase Elliott) Round of 16<\/strong><\/p>\n Aug. 31 — Cook Out Southern 500 — Darlington Raceway Round of 12<\/strong><\/p>\n Sept. 21 — USA Today 301 — New Hampshire Motor Speedway Round of 8<\/strong><\/p>\n Oct. 12 — South Point 400 — Las Vegas Motor Speedway Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n Nov. 2 — NASCAR Cup Series Championship — Phoenix Raceway<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Getty Images From humble beginnings in the Carolinas and across the Southeast, NASCAR has grown into not only the most popular form of auto racing in the United States, but also one that can attract the intrigue and attention of the rest of the world.
