NASCAR Announces 2025 Return to Historic Tracks

NASCAR will return to Rockingham Speedway in April 2025 for the first time in over a decade, hosting the Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series on Easter weekend. The track, known as 'The Rock,' last hosted the Xfinity Series in 2004 and the Truck Series in 2013. This revival is part of a broader trend by NASCAR to bring back historic tracks, with recent successes including North Wilkesboro Speedway. Additionally, the 2025 schedule features new venues such as Bowman Gray Stadium and international events like a race in Mexico City. Iowa Speedway will also see the return of the NASCAR Cup Series with the Iowa Corn 350 on August 3, 2025, following its successful debut race in 2024. The Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will return to its traditional 2.5-mile oval format in July 2025.
