NASCAR 25 just dropped its best teaser yet, and iRacing is promising a console experience unlike anything we’ve had before. But while the gameplay glimpses look slick and the lighting is gorgeous, the real question is whether it will avoid the pitfalls of past titles. Meanwhile, Bob Pockrass has ranked NASCAR’s top young prospects — and his top five is already stirring debate among fans.

  • How good does NASCAR 25 really look beneath the hype and driver soundbites?
  • Which familiar names made the in-game roster, and who’s surprisingly absent?
  • Is Connor Zilisch’s rise to the top of the prospect list as inevitable as it seems?
  • And could Corey Heim’s path to the Cup Series be more complicated than fans think?

Between the cautious optimism for NASCAR’s next big console game and the intriguing shuffle of up-and-coming talent, there’s plenty to discuss. Some fans are ready to crown NASCAR 25 the new gold standard, others are holding back until they see full gameplay. And as for the prospect rankings, not everyone agrees on who belongs in the top spots — or how soon they’ll break into Cup.
