Max Verstappen NASCAR results: what actually happened
Max Verstappen has no verified official NASCAR race result in the reporting at hand. What is confirmed is a NASCAR challenge in sim racing seats, with Verstappen and Isack Hadjar taking part alongside Red Bull athlete Connor Zilisch.
That is the key distinction behind the search. This was a crossover challenge, not a confirmed NASCAR Cup, Xfinity or Truck Series start for Verstappen, and Monaco on 2026-06-07 is the next real Formula 1 checkpoint.
What the NASCAR challenge was
Formula1.com reported that Verstappen and Hadjar swapped their Formula 1 machinery for sim racing seats in a NASCAR challenge with Zilisch. The snippet only says they tackled the “M…” detail, so that part stays unfinished here.
There is no verified official NASCAR finishing result for Verstappen here, so details of any race result are yet to be confirmed.
Fact-check
| Item | Verified status |
|---|---|
| NASCAR challenge with Connor Zilisch | Confirmed sim/NASCAR challenge appearance |
| Official NASCAR race start | No confirmed official NASCAR race start |
| Official NASCAR finishing result | No verified official NASCAR finishing result |
| Current F1 standing | Confirmed: 7th in F1 standings on 43 points |
Why the distinction matters
A sim crossover or challenge is not the same as an official NASCAR race entry. Official NASCAR results come from sanctioned Cup, Xfinity or Truck Series competition, so a challenge appearance should not be treated as a race start or a finishing classification.
That is why the wording matters here. Verstappen can be linked to a NASCAR-style event without there being a real NASCAR result to report.

Recent F1 results for context
Formula1.com’s 2025 race-results snippet lists Verstappen as the winner of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix on 18 May 2025 for Red Bull Racing. The same Formula1.com results snippet lists Lando Norris as the winner of Monaco on 25 May 2025 for McLaren.
Those results are useful context because they show Verstappen has recent winning form in Formula 1, even if there is no verified NASCAR result to attach to his name from this crossover appearance.
Bottom line
There is no verified official NASCAR result for Max Verstappen in the material currently available. What is confirmed is a sim-racing NASCAR challenge with Isack Hadjar and Connor Zilisch, while Verstappen’s real competitive focus remains Formula 1, where he sits 7th in the 2026 standings with Monaco next.
