In the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series driver lineup, it's harder to find a team that didn't make any driver changes than it is to find one that did.
The majority of the sport's full-time teams have adjusted their lineup in some capacity from the 2024 season, and all of the 36 chartered seats are occupied by full-time drivers. That had never previously happened in the charter era (2016 to present).
Here's a look at the driver changes made between the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
