The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season is almost at the finish line, with the Cup Series Playoffs not too distant. The 2025 Playoffs begin on Sunday, 31 August with the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.

To determine who is the best driver in the sport?
That's what most NASCAR fans thought, anyway. However, one NASCAR employee's admission has fans outraged.
