The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) is the sport's highest level of professional competition. It is as a result the most famous and most profitable NASCAR series.
Since 2001, the Cup Series season has contains 36 contests over 10 months. Authors and fans often use "Cup" to refer to the MENCS and the ambiguous use of "NASCAR" as a synonym for the series is usual.
The particular 2018 MENCS Champion is Joey Logano. The report for most championships is 7, held by 3 drivers: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and Jimmie Johnson. Johnson has the report for the majority of consecutive with 5 consecutive Cup Series drivers' championships from 2006 to 2010. Previously, the most consecutive championships had been three in a row by Cale Yarborough in the late 1970s, the only other time when a driver has received three or more NASCAR Cup Series championships in a row.
The Mug Series had its first title sponsor in 1972. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, which had been banned from television set advertising, found a well known and demographically suitable consumer base in NASCAR fans and involved NASCAR as a marketing outlet.
Due to that sponsorship, the Grand National Series became referred to as Winston Glass Series starting in 1971, with a new factors system and some significant cash benefits to contend for championship points. In 1972, the season was shortened from 48 contests (including two on dirt tracks) to 31.
1972 is often acknowledged as the beginning of NASCAR's "modern era". The next competitive level, called Late Model Sportsman, gained the "Grand National" title approved down from the very best department and soon found a sponsor in Busch Beer.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (bottom), and team in victory lane in 2004Within 2004, Nextel Communications took over sponsorship of the premier series from R. J. Reynolds, who had sponsored it as the Winston Cup from 1972 until 2003, and formally renamed it the Nextel Cup Series. A new championship points system, the "Chase for the Nextel Cup, " (renamed "Chase for the Sprint Cup" in 2008) was also developed, which reset the point standings with 10 races to go, making only drivers in the top ten or within 400 points of the leader eligible to earn the championship.
In 3 years ago, NASCAR announced it was expanding "The Chase" from ten to twelve drivers, eliminating the 400-point cutoff, and giving a ten-point bonus to the top twelve drivers for each and every of the races they have won from the first 26. Wins throughout the season would also be awarded five more points than in previous seasons. In 08, the premier series title name became the Run Cup Series, as part of the merger between Nextel and Sprint.
In 2011, NASCAR announced several of major rules changes, the most significant being abandoning the points system from the 1947 bar napkin. The winner of a race now receives 43 points, with one-point decrements for each and every subsequent position (42 for second, 41 for third, and so on).
The winner also gets 3 bonus points, and single bonus points are awarded to all motorists who lead a panel, plus the driver who leads the most laps. Another considerable change entails the qualifying process for the Chase. The amount of being qualified drivers will remain at 12, but only the top 10 will qualify solely on regular-season points.
The particular remaining two Chase motorists will be the two drivers in the next 10 of the point standings (11th through 20th) with the most race wins in the regular season.
In 2014, NASCAR announced another revamp to the Chase format, growing the Chase pool to 16 drivers, and eliminating four drivers after every three races, leaving four drivers to compete for the championship at the season finale at Homestead. In addition, wins received an increased emphasis, with the 16 drivers with the most wins (15 if the points leader is winless; points leader will receive an programmed berth) gaining an area in the chase. If there are less than 16 winners, the remaining places will be filled based on the conventional factors system.
Monster Energy became the title sponsor in 2017, which changed the series' name to Creature Energy NASCAR Cup Collection. With Monster Energy's name sponsorship, NASCAR also forgotten "The Chase" name and now refers to the last 10 races simply as "the playoffs" similar to other sports.
