Some of racing’s brightest stars will shine in the 25th running of the Thanksgiving Classic, which runs from Friday, November 28 through Sunday, November 30 at Southern National Motorsports Park in Lucama, North Carolina.
The Thanksgiving Classic is headlined by Sunday’s I-95 Showdown Late Model Stock Car finale, which boasts a stacked field of veterans and rising stars. Former Thanksgiving Classic winner Josh Berry, who picked up a win in the NASCAR Cup Series in March 2025, is among the headliners. Meanwhile, Lee Pulliam will be racing for JR Motorsports, and Keelan Harvick will be competing in the URA Late Model feature as well.
Other headliners include four-time track champion Jamey Caudill, former track champion Tyler Matthews, defending Thanksgiving Classic winner Parker Eatmon, 2025 Speedweek champion Doug Barnes, and Matt Cox.
The Late Models aren’t the only attraction at the Thanksgiving Classic.
The event features three days of action-packed racing, kicking off on Friday night at 7:30pm with twin races for Bandoleros, Any Cars, and Legends, plus a 75 lap Limited Late Model feature.
Saturday evening will once again feature Any Cars, Bandoleros, and Legends, as well as Mini Stocks and Chargers, with the green flag waving at 5:00pm.
Then on Sunday afternoon at 12:30pm, Chargers, the Southern National Vintage Series, and Late Model Stocks will be in action with the Late Model Stock Car race once again running 250 laps in distance.
