A new "Open Exemption Provisional" rule has been introduced for the NASCAR Cup Series, allowing world-class drivers to compete in a race. These drivers will not earn race points, playoff points, prize money, or tiebreaker advantages based on their finishing position. However, they will retain the win, including the trophy and All-Star eligibility. The second-place finisher will receive first-place points but will not gain playoff points or playoff eligibility. Vehicles on the Damaged Vehicle Policy (DVP) may drive to the garage or be towed there if necessary. A repair clock of 7 minutes (8 minutes for Atlanta) is activated for vehicles undergoing repairs on pit road. Once the clock expires, the vehicle must move to the garage to continue repairs but will not be disqualified from the race. If a vehicle cannot reach pit road due to damage or flat tires, it will be towed directly to the garage. Additionally, if a car leaves its pit box and the repair clock expires before it crosses the pit-out yellow line, a penalty will be assessed. If a playoff waiver is granted for missing a race (exceptions to the forfeit of playoff points include medical reasons—driver medical, birth of a child, family emergency, etc.—and age restrictions), the driver will forfeit all current and future playoff points (earned prior to the playoffs) and will start the playoffs with a maximum of 2,000 points. Rules violations by an OEM may result in a loss of manufacturer points, and/or loss of wind tunnel hours, and/or loss of RCFD runs. Penalties will be assessed for violations of the vehicle testing policy, wind tunnel policy, event roster, and code of conduct policy. Suspensions resulting from technical penalties may be deferred, without appeal, to the next race following the penalty. All other suspensions take effect immediately. An additional bonus point for the fastest lap in a points paying race event has been introduced. This does not apply to Daytona Duels.[ 185] The OEP was adjusted: if there are more than 40 cars, the field will automatically expand to 41, and the team requesting the provisional may use it regardless of qualifying position.[ 186] If a vehicle is serviced in another team's pit stall, it will receive a penalty based on the reason for service: a flag status penalty (restart at the tail of the field or pass-through) for safety issues, or a potential lap(s) penalty for competition adjustments.[ 187] Just before the Brickyard 400, NASCAR introduced a new rule: it may, at its sole discretion, limit the number of race entries to 40. In such cases, open teams will be selected based on the team owner points standings.[ 188] Four open teams will be eligible for starting grid positions based on the fastest single lap speed posted to each open team's vehicle in the first qualifying round.[ 188] Up to six open teams will be eligible for starting grid positions based on the highest ranked team owner points standings.[ 188] In 2025 NASCAR started the first year of a 7 year TV deal lasting until 2031. In this dealFox will broadcast twelve races (including the Clash, Daytona Duels, and All-Star Race), whileNBC will broadcast fourteen races.Amazon andTNT will broadcast five races each.[ 189] In addition, the season marked the debut of NASCAR'sIn-Season Challenge , which was won byTy Gibbs .[ 190]
