Want more power under the hood in your NASCAR Cup Series? You’re not alone. Fans and drivers alike have been begging for it, and now, finally, there’s real smoke behind the fire. NASCAR’s Hauler Talk podcast lit up the conversation: returning to 750 horsepower might be more than wishful thinking.
- Could NASCAR really implement a power boost in 2025?
- Which tracks are most likely to test a higher horsepower package?
- How would a 750 bump affect short tracks, road courses, and the playoffs?
- Is this a temporary band-aid or part of a bigger overhaul — maybe even a hybrid future?
The timing makes sense. Fans are getting restless, especially after a rough spring stretch of strung-out, stale racing. With 2026 marking year five of the Next Gen car, history tells us that’s when major changes usually hit. The real change could be deeper than just horsepower, with aerodynamics, off-throttle time, and tire softness all in the mix. But let’s be real: fans want louder, faster, and more intense racing, and 750 might be the first step back to that. What do you think — will NASCAR finally pull the trigger on more horsepower? And will it fix the product, even partially? Drop your thoughts in the comments, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe.
