Hendrick Motorsports will be going racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series once again in 2025, bringing their No. 17 entry to the track for 16 races.

On Wednesday, the team revealed which dates they’ll be heading to, and which one of their impressive drivers will be behind the wheel. Adam Wall will be the team’s crew chief. Check out the full list below, featuring wheelmen like Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott and William Byron, shared to X by Davey Segal of SiriusXM NASCAR.

  • Mar. 1 — William Byron, Circuit of The Americas
  • Mar. 8 — Alex Bowman, Phoenix Raceway
  • Mar. 22 — Kyle Larson, Homestead-Miami Speedway
  • Mar. 29 — Corey Day, Martinsville Speedway
  • April 5 — Chase Elliott, Darlington Raceway
  • April 12 — Kyle Larson, Bristol Motor Speedway
  • May 3 — Corey Day, Texas Motor Speedway
  • May 24 — William Byron, Charlotte Motor Speedway
  • May 31 — Corey Day, Nashville Superspeedway
  • July 12 — Corey Day, Sonoma Raceway
  • Aug. 2 — Corey Day, lowa Speedway
  • Sept. 12 — Corey Day, Bristol Motor Speedway
  • Oct. 4 — Corey Day, Charlotte ROVAL
  • Oct. 11 — Corey Day, Las Vegas Motor Speedway
  • Oct. 25 — Corey Day, Martinsville Speedway
  • Nov. 1 — Corey Day, Phoenix Raceway

As you can tell, Hendrick is bringing some major star power to the Xfinity Series once again in 2025. Reigning back-to-back Daytona 500 winner William Byron will kick things off on Mar. 1 in Texas, taking his talents to the Circuit of The Americas. He’ll return to the car in May as well, with Charlotte Motor Speedway the cathedral.

Next up on the call sheet is Alex Bowman, who will have his lone start at Phoenix Raceway. It could provide some valuable insight for the organization as a whole, as they’ve struggled at times during the championship race in the desert when going against Team Penske.

Kyle Larson will be in the No. 17 twice, once at Homestead-Miami Speedway, and again a couple of weeks later at Bristol Motor Speedway. Those are two of his best tracks, so it should be awesome to see the veteran wheelman rip it around in the Xfinity Series once again.

Of course, Chase Elliott needs a date as well, and what better spot to have him in the No. 17 than Darlington Raceway? Perhaps he can tame The Lady in Black in 2025, and gain another hard-fought victory for the No. 17 team.

Finally, 19-year-old Corey Day is the other wheelman on the list, and he’ll be making some Xfinity Series starts to get his feet wet. He’s been touted as part of the future for Hendrick Motorsports, and he can certainly endear himself to the organization with some solid performances in the No. 17. His first opportunity comes at Martinsville Speedway on Mar. 29.

All told, there will certainly be a ton of attention paid to the Hendrick Motorsports No. 17 when it graces the Xfinity Series with its presence. With the star-power associated with the brand and the team, their 16 races should be fascinating to watch throughout the 2025 season.
