2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series
44th season of the NASCAR Xfinity Series From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series is the 44th season of the NASCAR Xfinity Series, a stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season started on February 15 with the United Rentals 300 at Daytona International Speedway and will end with the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race on November 1 at Phoenix Raceway.

The 2025 season will be the second season and the first as the exclusive broadcaster, in which The CW will be televising the NASCAR Xfinity Series under NASCAR's new TV deal that will take place until 2031. This season also marks the final season with Xfinity as title sponsor of the series.[1] It will also be the second season in NASCAR history, and the first in Xfinity Series history, where two drivers of the same name will compete against each other, as Austin Hill of Georgia and Austin Hill of Ohio both have starts scheduled for different teams for the same races.[2]
Justin Allgaier of JR Motorsports entered the season as the defending series champion.
