Overview
- President Steve O'Donnell said a new postseason structure is coming, with details to be released only after the 2025 campaign concludes.
- A multi-stakeholder committee of drivers, team owners, manufacturers, track representatives and media is evaluating alternatives to the current elimination model.
- O'Donnell pointed to Christopher Bell's concern that a dominant year can be undone by a one-race finale as a key reason for reconsidering the format.
- Options under discussion reportedly include replacing the single-race decider with a multi-race championship round or shifting toward fuller-season points emphasis, though no decision has been disclosed.
- Opinions remain divided as Richard Petty, Brad Keselowski, Ryan Blaney and Dale Earnhardt Jr. press for change while Joey Logano defends the existing system, and NASCAR pledges to stand behind this year's champion.
