NASCAR Race Today: Bristol start time, TV channel, live stream and lineup

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs hit Bristol Motor Speedway today - Saturday, September 13 - and we've got all of the details you need to know ahead of the action.

The Bass Pro Shops Night Race is set to see the Cup Series drivers complete 500 laps around the 0.533-mile oval under the lights in Tennessee, with major playoff stakes on the line.

Indeed, whilst Chase Briscoe (Darlington win) and Denny Hamlin (St Louis win) are locked in to the Round of 12, tonight's race will finalize the remaining 10 drivers to advance, with four stars set to be eliminated.

Kyle Larson has been the dominant force at Bristol of late, taking emphatic victories both earlier this season in the spring and in last year's night race at the track.

Can he do it again? Or will one of his playoff rivals scupper his chances? We certainly cannot wait to find out!
