EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix 2025

The NASCAR weekend in Austin, Texas, is scheduled from February 28 to March 2. The action will culminate on Sunday, March 2, 2025, when the NASCAR Cup Series will navigate the 17 turns of the world-class Circuit of the Americas (COTA) for the fifth edition of the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix.

This event will be the third NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) race of the 2025 season, following the Daytona 500 (February 16) and the Ambetter Health (February 23).

The inaugural EchoPark Grand Prix was held on May 23, 2021, marking the first time NASCAR raced at COTA. COTA is a world-class racing venue originally designed for Formula 1. The track's challenging 20-turn, 3.41-mile layout has brought a unique and technical test for NASCAR drivers. It differs significantly from the traditional oval tracks that dominate the series.
