With the start of the NASCAR season upon is, here is a look at five Cup races not to miss in 2025. Last year’s event was the middle race in the second round and featured a 23-car crash. This year’s race moves into the third round. That means it will have a direct impact on who — and maybe who does not —advance to the championship race.

The 2025 schedule officially begins for all of NASCAR's national series with Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway. The signature event is the 67th Daytona 500, which will begin at 2:30 p.m. ET on Feb.
