The second level NASCAR series will need a new title sponsor in 2026.
According to several reports, Xfinity has been the sponsor of the series since 2014, but will cancel this sponsorship at the end of the 2025 season. Xfinity had signed a 10 -year agreement to be the title sponsor from 2015, and Nascar announced on Tuesday That Xfinity had signed an extension of one year for the 2025 season.
The Comcast brand stays in Nascar as the first sponsor of the high -level series of cuts. Nascar has not had a title sponsor for the Cup series since the departure of Monster Energy after the 2019 season. During the last five seasons, Nascar has had several high -level sponsors for the CUP series; Its three are currently Busch, Coca-Cola and Xfinity.
The Xfinity series was transferred to the Grand National Series of the Nascar long -standing sports division in 1984. Busch was the series sponsor until 2007, and Nationwide Insurance took over as a title sponsor until in 2014.
The departure of Xfinity as a title sponsor arrives while the XFINITY series has its own television agreement from 2025. The XFINITY series programs had been divided between Fox and NBC with the CUP series calendar, but all will be All on the CW in 2025 and beyond. The CW obtained the rights of the series because it widens its sports portfolio with ACC and PAC-12 sporting events.
Nascar also announced Tuesday that Xfinity would spare a fastest tower program in the Cup series, the Xfinity series and the truck series. The pilot with the fastest round in a given race will obtain an additional point in a movement similar to what F1 uses. An F1 driver was able to bonus for the fastest round if he had finished in the top 10, but the rule was abolished at the end of the 2024 season.
There were no such conditions of finishing position specified in the announcement of Nascar. If there is no qualifications for the fastest price, Nascar could prepare for new manipulation of breed – Especially in the playoffs – If a driver multiplied by a driver lights up for fresh tires and the fastest round to refuse a rival to obtain it.
The penultimate race of the season of the series of the 2024 Cup series was in the grip of manipulation of the race in the decreasing towers while the Chevrolet pilots formed a kind of barricade to make sure that his colleague pilot of Chevy William Byron would have the opportunity to run for the title of the Cup series the following week while Toyota’s Bubba Wallace slowed down with what he said was a flat tire while Christopher Bell exceeded him.
Bell rebounded on the wall in the last lap in a movement that Nascar considered illegal to allow Byron to move towards the Final Four.
