The 2025 NASCAR in-season tournament will be a multi-stage motorsport tournament that will be played during the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. It will be the first edition of the NASCAR in-season tournament. All 36 regular season will participate and races will count toward the regular season and playoff standings as normal.

Format

[edit]

The tournament will consist of eight regular season races that will be run during June and July. For the first three races, all full-time drivers in the series are eligible to compete. Race winners will automatically qualify for the bracket, and be joined by the drivers with the best finish in any of the three races, with ties to be broken by total race points. The 32 drivers with the best performances move on to the next phase of the tournament.

The last five races will be conducted in a single elimination bracket. In each round, the driver in each matchup with the better finish advances, while the other is eliminated. This process will continue until only two drivers remain; the driver with the better finish in that race will be the tournament champion and win a $1 million bonus.
