NASCAR Cup Series 2025: Darlington start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series hits Darlington Raceway this weekend for the Goodyear 400.

It's not just any weekend, either, with Darlington the annual host of throwback weekend, which sees the current stars celebrate the NASCAR's heritage by running retro-inspired paint schemes that pay tribute to legendary drivers, iconic sponsors, and memorable moments in the sport's history.

It is a fitting location to host such an event, with this weekend's Cup Series race set to be the 125th hosted at the 1.33-mile oval.

Of course, last time out at Martinsville, Denny Hamlin won in dominant fashion to take his first victory of the 2025 season and the No. 11 driver could be one to watch once again, with 3 wins at the track previously.

Despite that, Hamlin certainly won't have it easy, with several stars likely to be looking to get their name on the 2025 win list for the first time, including Chase Briscoe and Kyle Busch, who finished first and second the last time the Cup Series raced at Darlington in September, and Brad Keselowski, who won the Goodyear 400 in 2024.

With that said, let's get into all the information you need ahead of this weekend's action, including timings and how you can watch it all unfold live.
