July 25, 2025
Cup Series fans were set to see engines fire up and drivers hit the track, but with just minutes to go, practice has been delayed.
Originally scheduled to begin in just three minutes, the green flag for today’s Cup Series practice session has been temporarily held off due to unconfirmed circumstances—though early reports point to possible track cleanup or weather-related adjustments.
🕒 What We Know So Far
Teams were staged and ready on pit road. Crews had tires prepped, drivers were suited up, and fans were in their seats. But as the countdown to practice ticked close to zero, officials announced a delay.
While NASCAR has yet to release an official statement, potential factors include:
Track maintenance or debris removal Weather in the area, such as light mist or moisture on the surface Scheduling delays from a prior session running long
Track officials and safety teams are currently evaluating conditions before giving the go-ahead.
🔧 Teams Adjusting On the Fly
For Cup teams, even a minor delay can throw off carefully planned run schedules. With limited practice time in the modern NASCAR era, every lap matters for setup data, tire feedback, and qualifying preparation.
Crew chiefs are now reworking run plans. Spotters and engineers are scanning the skies and track surface. And drivers? They’re in a holding pattern—helmet on, hands on the wheel, waiting.
⏳ What’s Next?
All eyes are now on NASCAR officials for an updated start time. Fans at the track and watching from home can expect the session to resume as soon as the all-clear is given.
Once the green flag drops, expect a flurry of activity as teams rush to maximize the shortened window.
📢 Stay Tuned
We’ll keep you updated with official word as soon as it’s available.
In the meantime, Cup Series fans—hang tight. The action may be paused, but it’s coming. And once it does, it’s going to be fast and furious.
