The recent launch of NASCAR 25, developed by iRacing, has generated significant excitement among racing enthusiasts, particularly with the revelation of driver ratings. Among the over 170 drivers featured in the game, only three have achieved a perfect score of 100, making this a noteworthy highlight for fans and gamers alike. William Byron, the cover star of NASCAR 25, stands out as the sole driver from the NASCAR Cup Series to earn this accolade.

In a recent revelation, NASCAR ‘25 Producer Matt Lewis confirmed that the tracks in the upcoming NASCAR console game are locked to their respective racing series. This decision has sparked discussions among fans who were hoping for the flexibility to race any series on any track, a feature that has been part of previous NASCAR games. The confirmation came during an interview with OverTake_gg, where Lewis explained the complexities involved in tuning AI opponents and setting up unique configurations for each series across multiple tracks.

The upcoming release of NASCAR 25 is set to revolutionize the racing game landscape by including the ARCA Menards Series for the first time. This addition not only introduces a roster of 57 drivers, including notable names like Cleetus McFarland, but also signifies a shift in how racing games can engage with grassroots motorsports. With the inclusion of both seasoned veterans and promising newcomers, NASCAR 25 aims to create a more authentic and diverse racing experience.
