Circuit of the Americas will have a new look for the 2025 NASCAR season. On Wednesday morning, COTA revealed its new track layout for NASCAR, which will see the circuit shift from its 3.41-mile, 20-turn Full Course layout to the venue’s 2.3-mile, 20-turn National Course. The NASCAR Cup Series race will be roughly 30 laps longer due to the change.
The NASCAR Xfinity Series will also utilize the new road course layout, as it will return for another year. Meanwhile, the NASCAR Truck Series won’t return to Circuit of the Americas, which will be the first time since the venue was added for the 2021 season. In 2024, William Byron (Cup), Kyle Larson (Xfinity), and Corey Heim (Truck) were the winners.
WE'RE TAKING THINGS NATIONAL! 🛞💨
The @NASCAR Cup Series and @NASCAR_Xfinity Series will move to @COTA's 2.3-mile, 20-turn National Course for the Feb. 28 – March 2 race weekend.

This new course layout will provide a new challenge for NASCAR competitors moving forward. The National Course layout will be equally challenging as it will be a completely new scene. NASCAR hasn’t finalized every detail surrounding the events at COTA in 2025, but it will be exciting to see the new layout in action.
