The NASCAR 25 driver ratings for the upcoming racing game, developed by iRacing studios, have been officially released, giving fans an in-depth look at how all Cup Series participants stack up. These latest ratings break down each driver’s performance across a variety of track types, highlighting differences in skills and achievements within the NASCAR Cup Series.
Ratings for each Cup Series driver in NASCAR 25 are categorized into six specific metrics: superspeedways (SSW), speedways (SW), intermediate tracks (INT), short intermediates (S.INT), concrete tracks (C), and road courses (RC). The prominent inclusion of detailed scores allows for a comprehensive view into where top drivers, such as William Byron, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell, and Shane van Gisbergen, excel against their peers.
Top Drivers Achieving Perfect Scores
Among all drivers, William Byron stands out by securing a flawless 100 overall rating—the only Cup Series competitor to do so, and notably, the game’s featured cover athlete.

Denny Hamlin achieves a unique accomplishment, receiving scores of 100 both in the speedway and concrete categories—making him the only driver to reach this milestone in more than one area. Christopher Bell claims a 100 on short intermediates, and Shane van Gisbergen is recognized as the only driver to hit the top mark for road courses, reinforcing their specialized strengths in NASCAR 25 driver ratings.
