The Badger State doesn't have a NASCAR national series race for the first time since 1992, but NASCAR still has plenty of Wisconsin in it.

23XI Racing, Trackhouse Racing, RFK Racing and Front Row Motorsports have each expanded and added a full-time Cup Series team. Haas Factory Team, representing the lone remaining charter from now-defunct Stewart-Haas Racing, is set to make its debut in stock car racing’s highest circuit.

When each new year in NASCAR commences, there is always something new apparent when the haulers are unloaded and the crews go to work for the first time. In some cases, it's a new paint scheme or a new sponsor accompanying familiar names and numbers.

The Daytona 500 takes place on Sunday, Feb. 16, 2025, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona, Florida, as part of the NASCAR Cup Series.

Reigning Cup Series champion Joey Logano begins the chase for his fourth career title in the Daytona 500 at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, kicking off an unprecedented year for the sport. Stock car racing’s highest circuit is set for a novel in-season tournament and will compete internationally, while the sanctioning body introduces several competition changes.

A five-race mid-season competition ultimately will pit two drivers vying for a $1 million prize. The tournament begins June 28 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, followed by trips to the Chicago Street Course, Sonoma Raceway and Dover Motor Speedway before the July 27 finale in Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Brickyard 400.
