NASCAR has formed a bracket-style competition to debut in the summer of 2025, which will feature 32 drivers and include a $1 million prize.
Something immensely popular in the NBA, NASCAR star Denny Hamlin created his own version of it last year after floating the idea of introducing a mid-season bracket tournament to the stock car racing world. NASCAR has now taken steps to create their own tournament, which will span across five races during the summer months of the 2025 season, aligning with the events broadcasted by TNT Sports.
Seeding of the 32-driver tournament will be established by finishing position in the three previous races, which will be aired by Amazon Prime. Tiebreakers will be determined by the next-best finish, followed by regular season points position. Drivers will then compete head-to-head with the higher finisher advancing into the next round. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was recently announced as part of the broadcast for TNT/Amazon, so he will be in the booth for these races.
