As we approach the new year, plenty of eyes will be looking forward to the 2025 NASCAR season. There is plenty of youth to watch this coming season across all three levels of NASCAR. The NASCAR young guns will be present in the Cup, Xfinity, and Craftsman Truck in 2025.<\/p>\n
Sure drivers like Carson Hocevar in the NASCAR Cup Series will be in his second season, but he’s still the youngest driver in the series. Riley Herbst<\/a> has arrived at the Cup Series and looks ready to make an impact for 23XI Racing. As for the Xfinity Series, they are going to have one heck of a rookie of the year battle, with so many big-name rising stars. Without further delay let’s take a look at the top NASCAR young guns to watch in 2025.<\/p>\n The top pick of the bunch<\/a> is 18-year-old sensation Connor Zilisch. He burst onto the scene in 2024, making starts in the ARCA Menards, Craftsman Truck, and Xfinity Series. Now he’ll get the honor of piloting Dale Earnhardt Jr’s No. 88 car full-time for JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series.<\/p>\n Blessed to get the opportunity to go full time @XfinityRacing<\/a> next year with @JRMotorsports<\/a> in the 88! Thank you to @DaleJr<\/a> and @TeamTrackhouse<\/a> for trusting me.
