10. Route America

4-mile long road course with elevation change and fast turns. Challenges are also different, and since it's a road race, you have to predict what will happen.

9. Phoenix Championship

Final event of the season/ title decider. This one is a tight, flat track where tire strategy and the right workmanship are key to qualifying for the Cup Series championship.

8. Kansas Speedway

One of the most important playoff races, and where every point counts. The track is a large oval and is mostly strategy-based, so most races are quite high-pressure and exciting.

7. Bristol Night

Race. From top to bottom, under the lights in Bristol, it never disappoints with lengthy queues, furious mouths, and plenty of action.

6. All-Star Race

Non-points event featuring the best drivers in the series. North Wilkesboro 2025 Short track action, special formats, and all stars for all ages.

5. Talladega 500

Obviously, the wildest race of the year with massive seas of cars going at ridiculous speeds. Expect lots of changes, lead and drafting, and massive multi-car impacts.

4. Southern 500

'The Track Too Tough to Touch' Darlington is ‘the track too hard for tires’, so expect tire suffering, exhausting strategy, and plenty of action from all sides.

3. Brickyard 400

The Brickyard 400 will be the annual NASCAR / IndyCar stock car race at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway on October 31 each year.

2. Coca-Cola 600

NASCAR's longest race / 600 miles. Everything from strategy to tire management has an effect ( mostly in the penultimate lap fight ).

1. Daytona 500

The race where NASCAR's season began. The vertical speed of the cars and the wrecks, and the dramatic finish, which makes it the most legendary NASCAR race in history.
