How NASCAR's In-Season Challenge works for 2025
NASCAR's In-Season Challenge is set to kick off on June 28 at Atlanta Motor Speedway as TNT Sports begins its part of the broadcast schedule. The new tournament-style bracket is sure to add plenty of story lines to the summer months. Bookmark this page and refer back to it often for information on how the In-Season Challenge works: What is the In-Season Challenge? A 32-driver, single-elimination tournament that takes place over five races on TNT Sports. The driver with the best finish in each matchup advances to the next round. Advertisement When does it start? The first In-Season Challenge race is June 28 at Atlanta — but there are three seeding races before that that set the bracket itself. Who qualifies? The top 32 drivers in points following the NASCAR Cup Series race at Nashville on June 1 (7 p.m. ET, Prime Video) will make up the In-Season Challenge field. How is the bracket seeded? There are three seeding races — Michigan International Speedway (June 8), Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez (June 15) and Pocono Raceway (June 22). Drivers are seeded by their best finish in those three races. How are ties in seeding broken? The first tiebreaker is the next-best finish in the three seeding races. If two drivers were to finish with the exact same finishing positions over the three seeding races, the next tiebreaker is points standings following the Pocono race. Advertisement What tracks are in the In-Season Challenge? Atlanta Motor Speedway (32 drivers), Chicago Street Course (16), Sonoma Raceway (8), Dover Motor Speedway (4) and Indianapolis Motor Speedway (2). How do drivers advance? Simple. The driver in each head-to-head matchup that finishes higher than the other 'wins' that matchup and advances to the next round. What does the winner get? A cool $1 million — the ultimate bragging rights. How can I watch? All five In-Season Challenge races air on TNT, and an alternate broadcast on truTV will focus exclusively on the In-Season Challenge matchups in real time. IN-SEASON CHALLENGE

Jimmie Johnson wants Kyle Larson to keep attempting 'The Double'
Jimmie Johnson wants Kyle Larson to keep attempting 'The Double' Kyle Larson's second attempt at "The Double" didn't go well. Larson crashed out of the 2025 Indianapolis 500, and even if he hadn't wrecked, the helicopter taking him to Charlotte Motor Speedway would have left before the end of the event due to a weather delay. Then, Larson hit the wall and spun from the lead in the Coca-Cola 600 before crashing out later in the night. It was a very disappointing day for the Hendrick Motorsports driver, and it might have represented his final chance at "The Double." However, Jimmie Johnson, who joined the NTT IndyCar Series after retiring from NASCAR, hopes that Larson can continue attempting "The Double" moving forward. "I love that [Kyle Larson]'s doing [The Double], and I hope that he sticks with it," Johnson said. "The uptick for motorsports worldwide is measurable. When people do The Double, it matters. And Kyle is a guy that can drive anything, as we know. We look at how he did last year. This year, sure, racing is racing. It's not always going to be easy. The big races require bigger moments, and there's a lot more going on. The guy just takes it in stride and goes through both events. Sure, he wishes he had different results, but I really hope it doesn't dissuade him from racing in those again." Larson is one of the best race car drivers in the world, and although his two attempts at "The Double" haven't gone well, Johnson hopes it won't discourage him from trying it again. The logistics of "The Double" are complicated, and despite the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion's approval, it would be understandable if Larson didn't want to try it again.
