NASCAR 25 will release this fall with four stock car categories

The next official NASCAR video game (NASCAR 25) will include four real-world championships when it releases this “fall”.

Following the most recent official circuit racing console and PC NASCAR game only focusing on the top-tier Cup Series, the next instalment will also feature the supporting Xfinity Series,  Craftsman Truck Series and, for the first time, the ARCA Menards Series.

The ARCA series uses an older-generation NASCAR chassis, around the Gen 4 and Gen 5/6 area, with new bodies placed over the top and an Ilmor 396 control engine.

All four vehicle types will be part of the main single-player career mode, starting in ARCA before rising through the ranks to the Cup Series.

“NASCAR 25 will be released in the fall of 2025,” ends the iRacing release.

No gameplay has been released yet, just work-in-progress wireframes and a brief shot of a pit garage.

Its gestation is lengthy, following the cessation of production for a NASCAR 21: Ignition follow-up by Motorsport Games and the subsequent sale of the rights to create the game series to iRacing in 2023.

iRacing-owned Monster Games is creating the title, using some assets borrowed from the PC simulation. It will mix a unique basis, believed to be related to the current World of Outlaws oval racer, but using Unreal Engine for the graphics.

Several years prior, that same development team worked on four NASCAR Heat titles, all of which included multiple stock car championships.

The platforms NASCAR 25 will release on are yet to be confirmed. Originally, it was believed it would bypass PC for PlayStation and Xbox only like the aforementioned WoO, but that game is now releasing on Steam later this month.
