2025 NASCAR lineup projections: Which drivers are landing where?

With silly season in full swing, here is a team-by-team look at how their 2025 lineups could look.

As talks are ongoing, these projections/outlooks will change and we'll keep you updated.

Here's my outlook as of July 20 following the announcement of Cole Custer to drive the Cup car for the Haas Factory Team (Gene Haas is keeping one of the four Stewart-Haas Racing charters) next season.

11: Denny Hamlin is signed through at least next year and no changes are expected.

19: Chase Briscoe will replace Martin Truex Jr. next year, the team announced Tuesday. Crew chief James Small will remain with the team.

20: Christopher Bell is signed through at least next year and no changes are expected

54: Ty Gibbs is the grandson of the team owner and is expected to have a ride as long as the team has Joe Gibbs in operation. Whether he would ever change to the No. 18 – the signature and original JGR number – probably would be the biggest question. Joe Gibbs indicated there is nothing imminent as far as a number change.

5: Kyle Larson is signed through at least next year and no changes are expected.

9: Chase Elliott is signed through at least next year and no changes are expected.

24: William Byron is signed through at least next year and no changes are expected.

48: Alex Bowman is signed through at least next year. His win on July 7 on the Chicago street course should quiet much of the speculation that he could be out of this ride. 

23: Bubba Wallace isn't signed yet for next year but is expected to return.

45: Tyler Reddick is signed through at least next year and no changes are expected.

67 (or another number for third car with charter likely acquired from SHR): With the team already having a Monster Energy relationship, adding Riley
