Proving Grounds Challenge #3: NASCAR 25

In celebration of the release of NASCAR 25 from iRacing Studios, we’ve got a new painting challenge for iRacing to help show off your skills — and it just might help you win a copy of the game.

Our latest Proving Grounds Challenge invites you to paint and share an iRacing car of your choosing with NASCAR 25 as the primary sponsor. (Get creative and interpret the brief however you’d like!)

Together with iRacing Studios, we’re giving away five copies of NASCAR 25 for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 to five painters of eligible paints earning the most favorites.

To participate in this Proving Grounds Challenge:

• Paint a car with NASCAR 25 logos and colors (available for download on the Proving Grounds page). Feel free to use Paint Builder or download an iRacing car template for the software of your choice.
• Submit the finished project to the Showroom. Don’t forget to take some nice screenshots!
• Include #ProvingGrounds somewhere in your description.

Then, once your submission is posted, see where you stack up on the Proving Grounds page. Accumulate favorites to achieve a higher ranking on the page. Feel free to paint and submit as many cars to the challenge as you’d like.

Submit your NASCAR 25-adorned car through October 17 to be included.

Why Proving Grounds?

As artists, we often feel that creative itch to paint something—and maybe what that something is isn’t always clear. With Proving Grounds, much like a real-world creative brief, you get some parameters, like a particular car, colors, or sponsor (NASCAR 25, in this case). Sometimes, some limitations and boundaries are all the creative spark you need to make something great.

Proving Grounds isn’t a “design contest” where companies try to get free work out of lots of designers instead of hiring somebody for their project. To be clear, this is all just for fun to flex that creative muscle, showcase the many talents of the Trading Paints community, and celebrate the release of NASCAR 25.

We hope you enjoy Proving Grounds, and good luck in the challenge!

The five eligible entries with the most favorites on Trading Paints by 3 p.m. ET on October 17, 2025 will receive a game code. Submit as many paints as you’d like, but as an individual you can only win up to one game code.

Don’t forget to check out NASCAR 25, available for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on October 14 (72-hour early access is available if you pre-order).
