CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR released its full 2025 Cup Series schedule on Thursday, two days after the stock-car sanctioning body announced its top level of competition would take part in an international points-paying race for the first time in modern history.
NASCAR said Tuesday it would visit Mexico City next June, and that road course will replace one of the two annual stops at Virginia’s Richmond Raceway, a short track.
NASCAR had also previously announced that it would move the preseason Clash exhibition race from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum — where it was held the past three years after previously being run at Daytona International Speedway — to Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Bowman Gray and Mexico City’s Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez are the only two new venues on the 2025 Cup Series schedule.
The rest of the changes are minor tweaks, particularly for the playoffs. Atlanta Motor Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway and Watkins Glen all lost postseasn spots and will instead be hosting during the 26-race regular season.
