One of the most notable misses from NASCAR 25 on launch was the Portland International Raceway. The game has generally ported over fully-scanned tracks from its more serious sibling racer, iRacing.
With iRacing already adding the Oregon circuit with Season 2 back in March 2025, the exclusion was surprising. But that is fortunately changing with the upcoming update. Alongside Portland, Sonoma Raceway will also see a sweeping rebuild.

Outside of Portland, another highly requested track to miss out on in NASCAR 25, despite being present in iRacing, is Mexico. Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez was added to iRacing just a couple of months before the release of NASCAR 25, so there's a chance it'll be added in the future.
For an officially licensed game, there were several notable omissions at launch. The 0.25-mile quarter-mile oval, Bowman Gray, is another surprising track that didn't make the cut, despite hosting the 2025 Cup Series season opener. Of course, if any of these tracks get added, we will be sure to update you.
