On Wednesday Morning, NASCAR Hall of Famer and executive director at iRacing, Dale Earnhardt Jr., uploaded a clip of NASCAR ’25’s main menu. While fans reacted to the menu’s design, the soundtrack was the main takeaway.
Fans quickly noticed that the background music in the short clip was not the usual generic southern rock found in recent games; rather, it was Killer Mike’s song Nobody Knows. Of course, while Earnhardt has taken pride in the game itself, the former driver and music-lover has taken the soundtrack under his wing, asking fans and drivers what they’d like to see in the game.
After his Instagram post, fans quickly flocked to X to ask for more information on the soundtrack, and Earnhardt, ever a man of the people, obliged.
Earnhardt started by saying that there will be 27 different artists featured in the game, and though he didn’t expand on every artist, from his posts, here’s who Earnhardt said is included:
Earnhardt also made special notes of certain artists, for example, regarding Molly Hatchet’s Flirtin’ with Disaster, the featured song from EA Sports’ NASCAR 98, “I was told that people wouldn’t buy a game without it.”
Many fans were excited to see Breaking Benjamin on the list of artists, with Earnhardt saying that they were on a list submitted by NASCAR Cup Series drivers Bubba Wallace and Ryan Blaney alongside Royal Blood. Breaking Benjamin is another returning group from a past NASCAR game, being featured in EA’s NASCAR 07.
However, Earnhardt revealed that Breaking Benjamin was the first to contact the game and ask to be involved.
These posts only scratched the surface of the 27 artists, and perhaps many more songs in the game’s library, meaning fans still await a full reveal down the road. This week, NASCAR ’25 began unveiling rosters for the four series featured in the game, likely meaning a soundtrack reveal is right around the corner.
NASCAR ’25 is scheduled to release on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 on Oct. 14, with a PC port coming in the future. For any and all information, including timelines, promotional videos, and in-game info, make sure to check out our in-depth article on NASCAR ’25 below.

Denny Hamlin defends Riley Herbst, Brad Keselowski is furious, and Kyle Busch leaves everyone debating what it means to truly compete for a Daytona 500. The final lap at Daytona International Speedway sparked multiple completely different controversies that say a lot about modern superspeedway racing.
At superspeedways, instinct rules everything. Herbst reacted late, Keselowski paid the price, and Hamlin backed his guy. Meanwhile, Busch lifted from 25th, avoided the wreck, and gained ten spots, a move that looks smart in hindsight but could have backfired badly. In a new points-heavy format, are drivers thinking differently? We break down both moments, what they really mean, and whether everyone involved might actually have a point. Plus, early Cup Series power rankings to wrap it up.
