It’s a new month, and the NASCAR schedule is in full swing. Not only does April mean NASCAR’s spring stretch of races, but a new issue of NASCAR Pole Position. Here are the absolute must-reads from the April-May 2025 Edition of NASCAR Pole Position.
For the first time since 2013, two NASCAR National Series will race at Rockingham Speedway. The track, which the Xfinity Series has not raced at since 2004, is one of NASCAR’s most historic venues, though fans thought the track would never return to racing.
In this article, Jared Turner breaks down the emotions and excitement about NASCAR’s return to the track. This story also highlights some important moments in the track history from 1963 to 2003.
Jared Turner also sat down with NASCAR legend Kasey Kahne, who is attempting his first NASCAR National Series race since 2018 with the NASCAR Xfinity Series on Apr. 19. Kahne’s return to NASCAR is one of the most shocking in recent years, as the veteran has focused on sprint car racing since unceremonious exit in 2018.
Kahne’s return makes NASCAR’s return to Rockingham all the more special. Khane has a deep history with the track, including a close finish with race winner Matt Kenseth in 2004 and a win in the 2013 Truck Series race, NASCAR’s most recent return to the track.
After being cut from the NASCAR Cup Series after the 2022 season, Haas Factory Team driver Cole Custer returned to the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Custer, now a former Xfinity Series Champion, is returning to the Cup Series this season.
Dustin Albino sat down with Custer to talk about the 27-year-old’s journey back to the top level of NASCAR. If you love a comeback story, this is one you’re not going to want to miss out on.
Layne Riggs is one of a handful of second-generation drivers making a name for themselves throughout the NASCAR National Series. The reigning Truck Series Rookie of the Year is a fan favorite and a flashback to the short-track racers of old.
Jared Turner sat down with Riggs to discuss his journey to becoming one of the top prospects in the Truck Series. This article covers Riggs’s activities on and off the track and his relationship with his father, NASCAR veteran Scott Riggs.
Garrett Mitchell, better known by his screen name Cleetus McFarland, has over 4 million subscribers on his Automotive YouTube Channel. Mitchell had one of the most hyped debuts in recent memory when he hopped behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang at Daytona this past February.
Mitchell’s debut, as short and sweet as it was, is leading to more races and a massive boost in ARCA’s TV ratings. This story by yours truly breaks down Mitchell’s journey to NASCAR, his weekend at Daytona, and the ripple effect of this outing.
