GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • Well, this is interesting. iRacing’s NASCAR 25 game boasts 176 licensed drivers across four series, but somehow KATHERINE LEGGE – who actually competed in the Cup Series with Live Fast Motorsports in the No. 78 Chevrolet – didn’t make the cut. Meanwhile, drivers with limited Cup experience got their spots locked in.
  • The good news? We do get AMBER BALCAEN and ISABELLA ROBUSTO representing in the ARCA Menards Series roster, both driving for Venturini Motorsports. It’s the first time ARCA has been featured in a console NASCAR game, so at least the pipeline series is getting some love for the women grinding their way up.
  • But let’s be real – when a driver who’s actually turned laps in Cup Series competition gets left off while others with similar limited experience make the roster, you have to wonder about the selection criteria. LEGGE has the resume and the Cup Series seat time, so this feels like an oversight that hopefully gets corrected before the October 2025 release.

UPCOMING:

  • NASCAR 25 PC Release – Steam Platform
  • NASCAR 25 Official Gameplay Footage Release
