Top 50 Drivers of 2025
Autosport's team of expert journalists got together to try to assess who were the top 50 drivers of 2025. Here are the results.
William Byron started the year off strongly by winning the Daytona 500 for the second consecutive year, becoming just the fifth driver in history to go back-to-back in NASCAR’s biggest race. He nearly won NASCAR’s longest race as well, losing out to Ross Chastain after leading 283 of 400 laps in the Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte.
Byron won three Cup races in 2025 and made it into the final four with another dominant showing at Martinsville Speedway. In the finale, he was set to end the year as the championship runner-up before a late-race tyre failure relegated him to fourth.
