Get Ready for the NASCAR Southern 500: The Ultimate Showdown at Darlington!

The NASCAR world is buzzing with excitement as the 76th edition of the Southern 500 prepares to take center stage at the legendary Darlington Raceway. This monumental event marks the 27th round of the 2025 NASCAR Cup season and kicks off the highly anticipated Playoffs, setting the stage for heart-pounding action and fierce competition over 500 grueling miles.

As the engines roar to life on Sunday, all eyes will be on 16 elite drivers ready to battle for glory. Leading the charge is Kyle Larson, who enters as the No. 1 seed with an impressive 32 playoff points—equal to his teammate and regular season champion, William Byron. But not everyone is in the driver’s seat; four contenders find themselves trailing right from the start. Josh Berry, Tyler Reddick, Austin Dillon, and Alex Bowman face an uphill battle, with point deficits ranging from just 1 to a daunting 5 points.

Off the racetrack, the drama continues to unfold. Ram has announced an exhilarating partnership with Kaulig Racing, gearing up for a spectacular comeback in 2026 with plans to field five trucks. Meanwhile, Trackhouse Racing has made headlines by promoting Connor Zilisch to the Cup Series, stepping in to replace Daniel Suarez for the upcoming season.

But the tension doesn’t stop there. A sensational legal battle is heating up, as shocking new evidence has come to light from 23XI Racing’s leadership and NASCAR executives, escalating their courtroom clash to unprecedented heights.

In the Truck Series, fans are left reeling as Frankie Muniz faces an unexpected setback, sidelined due to a wrist injury sustained from a fall at home. However, there’s a welcome return on the horizon, with Trevor Bayne set to make his NASCAR comeback driving for TRICON in the highly competitive Truck race this Saturday.

NASCAR’s Playoff Media Day has already set the tone for the upcoming challenges, with contenders stepping into the spotlight to field questions from the press, shedding light on their strategies for the battles that lie ahead.

Here’s a sneak peek at the jam-packed schedule for NASCAR’s action-packed weekend (please note that times are tentative and subject to change):

– 3 PM: NASCAR Truck Series practice and qualifying – FOX SPORTS 2 – 9 AM: NASCAR Cup practice and qualifying – TRUTV – 12 PM: NASCAR Truck Series race – FOX SPORTS 1 – 3 PM: NASCAR Xfinity practice and qualifying (Portland) – CW APP – 7:30 PM: NASCAR Xfinity Series race (Portland) – The CW – 6 PM EST: NASCAR Cup’s 76th running of the Southern 500 at Darlington – USA NETWORK

Prepare for an unforgettable weekend of racing, where legends will be forged, and champions will emerge. Don’t miss a moment of the Southern 500 at Darlington—this is where the true battle for the NASCAR crown begins!
