No Cautions Given – Episode 8: Predicting the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs!

On the latest episode of No Cautions Given, Armany breaks down NASCAR’s 2025 playoff field, and the outlook is anything but straightforward. What should feel like a clean chase for the championship has instead turned into a tangle of powerhouse contenders, shaky favorites, and unpredictable wildcards. From Joey Logano’s odd-year curse and Bubba Wallace’s quiet surge, to Shane van Gisbergen’s rapid rise and Ross Chastain’s recent struggles, the battle lines are drawn, but no one looks safe. With eliminations looming and shocking exits almost guaranteed, the road to Phoenix is already setting up to be one of the most dramatic in years.

Armany sees the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs as a fascinating mix of momentum, uncertainty, and high-stakes drama. With Larson, Byron, Hamlin, and Bell looking like safe bets to advance, questions linger over big names like Joey Logano, Tyler Reddick, and Ross Chastain, who all face uphill battles thanks to inconsistency and shaky recent form. Even Bubba Wallace and Shane van Gisbergen emerge as wildcards — Wallace riding a hot streak of confidence, and SVG proving he’s adapting fast to ovals but still untested under playoff pressure. The path to Phoenix looks wide open, but with so many storylines in play, the eliminations might be even more shocking than the drivers who survive.
