Scottsdale to Host NASCAR Awards Following 2025 Championship Weekend

NASCAR today announced that the annual NASCAR Awards will take place in Scottsdale, Arizona on Nov. 4, capping off what promises to be a thrilling Championship Weekend.

The prestigious event will bring together drivers, teams, industry executives, and fans to celebrate the 2025 season and honor the newly crowned champions from the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. Most recently held in Charlotte, N.C., this marks the first time the event will be held in Arizona, reflecting NASCAR’s continued commitment to delivering memorable experiences in new and dynamic markets.

The awards ceremony and preceding red carpet will be livestreamed exclusively from 6 p.m. ET on the NASCAR Channel, allowing fans to join in the celebration. The NASCAR Channel – a free ad-supported streaming channel – can be found on Xumo Play, Tubi, The Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus and Prime Video.

“Scottsdale offers the perfect backdrop for this year’s NASCAR Awards,” said Tim Clark, NASCAR Executive Vice President and Chief Brand Officer. “The incredible excitement from Championship Weekend at Phoenix Raceway will immediately carry into this year’s Awards, adding a level of energy we’ve never seen for this celebration.”

Following the championship races at Phoenix Raceway, which conclude on Sunday, Nov. 2 with the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race, the move to Scottsdale allows for a seamless transition into the awards celebration. The city’s renowned hospitality, culture, and scenic desert landscapes are expected to deliver an unforgettable experience for both guests and viewers.

NASCAR will host a celebration for the NASCAR Regional Series (ARCA Menards Series, ARCA Menards Series East, ARCA Menards Series West, NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series) and the NASCAR International Series (NASCAR Brasil Series, NASCAR Canada Series, NASCAR Mexico Series and NASCAR Whelen Euro Series), on Friday, Nov. 21 in Charlotte, N.C. at the Charlotte Convention Center.
