The NASCAR Youth Series presented by COOKOUT has announced their schedule for 2025, including both pavement and dirt races.
The 2025 schedule will feature 12 events, with eight on pavement and four on dirt. Several events will be in conjunction with NASCAR race weekends. Three NYS-sanctioned club races will also be included, taking place on the east and west coast, as well as the United States heartland.
The season opener for pavement will be at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, during the NASCAR weekend March 14-16. Talladega Superspeedway, Richmond Raceway, and Charlotte Motor Speedway will all host events in conjunction with NASCAR weekends. “Battle at the Brickyard” at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will take place during the Fourth of July weekend. The dirt national event at Tri-City Speedway in Illinois will take place September 5-7 to coincide with the NASCAR race weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway.
The first club event on pavement will be at Garden State QMRC in New Jersey June 13-15. Castle Rock QMC in Washington will host the next club race July 25-27. The pavement national schedule will end at Topeka QMA in Kansas October 17-19.

2025 will also see some new things for the series. There will be “Showcase” races at club tracks, which will be nationally promoted and streamed live on FloRacing. There will also be resources for drivers and families to gain more social media exposure, sponsorship opportunities and more. Full-time staff had also been increased, as well as more national events hosted by NYS-sanctioned clubs.
