About NASCAR

The NASCAR Cup Series is the top division of American stock car racing, established in 1949. A 36-race season spans superspeedways, short ovals and road courses, with a 16-driver playoff format deciding the champion at the season finale. Legends like Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson each claimed seven titles, and today's Next Gen cars keep the racing pack-tight.
