As the end of the 2024 season approaches, we are excited to announce a majority of the 2025 schedule. The 2025 season will see the addition of the franchise system, introducing the Crown Jewel Xfinity Series and adding a “career-mode” feeling to the Crown Jewel Racing League. Team owners will take control of their franchises and drivers will earn their way to the premier Crown Jewel Cup Series while navigating negotiations with team owners, manufacturer alliances, and more – bringing an authentic experience to all members of the league.
2024-2025 Offseason Schedule (Mon. & Wed.)
The 2024-2025 offseason will consist of two separate series – the Crown Jewel Offseason and the 2024 Trans-Am Offseason. The Crown Jewel Offseason will consist of classic oval Crown Jewel events from history. The races will be run at full distance with the same rules package from the era in which it was run. This series will test drivers in all forms of oval racing, while preparing drivers for the 2025 season with longer races. The 2024 Trans-Am Offseason will consist of the full 2024 Trans-Am schedule (available on iRacing) and run the Late Model Stock and Ford Mustang FR500S on road courses in short, 100-mile races. This series will test your H-pattern road racing skills across multiple tracks in a unique multi-class setting. Both of these series will be fixed setup (excluding the Snowball Derby, which will be open setup).
2025 Special Events Schedule
In 2025, we will be taking a smaller and more digestible route in the inclusion of road racing in the Crown Jewel Community. While not a focal point in our community, road racing is an important part of racing’s DNA and should be included in some capacity. In 2025, we will be introducing six special events to the calendar – five road, and one returning oval event. The second annual Frank Pauley Memorial 500 returns by popular demand and will be the third straight year the CJRL runs the Indianapolis 500. In addition to the FPM 500, five major road course events have been added as well. All events will have an entry fee that contributes to a prize pool and broadcasting. Prize pool will be based on participation and announced prior to the race. We hope to see you out on the track and turning left and right in 2025!
2025 Crown Jewel Cup Series Schedule
With NASCAR releasing the 2025 Cup Series Schedule, we are now able to fill in the blank as to what is the 2025 Crown Jewel Cup Series season. With The Clash moving venues and the addition of Mexico City, there are still two question marks on the schedule from an iRacing sense. These will continue to be monitored as those events approach. All decisions will be made with Cup Series team owner and driver input and will be decided no later than 2-weeks before the event. The 2025 schedule has a large mix-up that will surely change the dynamic of the season – and we are excited to be a part of it with the CJCS! All 38 events will be live on the Fireball Talks NASCAR Broadcasting Network – don’t miss a broadcast in 2025!
2025 Crown Jewel Xfinity Series Schedule
Xfinity Series action returns to the Crown Jewel Racing League in 2025! With the introduction of the franchise system, drivers will be fighting for their careers as they try to work their way into the Crown Jewel Cup Series. This steppingstone series will be sure to put on a show week in and week out as drivers battle for a Xfinity Series Championship! The schedule will feature four Dash 4 Cash races, where no Cup drivers will be allowed to enter, and drivers will battle for a cash prize each race. The Xfinity Series Mexico City race will be a mirror of the decision made by the Cup Series – where Xfinity will continue to be the support series for that week. Make your name known in the Crown Jewel Xfinity Series in 2025! All races will be broadcasted by the Cup Series Driver’s Only Broadcast – live on the Crown Jewel Racing Network every week in 2025!
2025 VRS Truck Series Schedule
VRS is set to return in their second season as the title sponsor for the VRS Truck Series. Cut in size to just twenty-five races, the VRS Truck Series just might become the entry-level for the career mode system in 2025. Based on the number of charters being requested by teams, a contingency plan is in place to include the Truck Series in the franchise system to ensure all drivers have the ability to experience the career-mode structure. Decisions regarding its inclusion will be made prior to franchise bidding, and all teams will have the ability to prepare and draft franchises if necessary. The 2025 VRS Truck Series action can be found on High Velocity TV for the entirety of the 2025 season!
2025 Crown Jewel ARCA Schedule
The 2025 ARCA Menards Series schedules have yet to be released. However, community members can expect the Sunday Night ARCA series to continue. The current plan is to combine the East, West, and National schedules into a single schedule and run it in its entirety. When the 2025 ARCA Menards schedules are released, we will announce the series in full via another post – so stay tuned!
