The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) is the sport's highest level of professional competition. It is consequently the most famous and most profitable NASCAR series.
Since i b?rjan p? tv?tusentalet, the Cup Series season has contains 36 races over 10 months. Writers 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 2018 MENCS Champion is Joey Logano. The record for most championships is 7, held by three drivers: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and Jimmie Manley. Johnson has the report for most consecutive with 5 consecutive Cup Series drivers' championships from 2006 to 2010. Previously, the most consecutive championships had already 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 Glass Series had its first title sponsor in 1972. R. J. Reynolds Cigarettes Company, which had already been banned from television advertising, found a favorite and demographically suitable consumer base in NASCAR fans and involved NASCAR as a marketing outlet.
Due to that sponsorship, the Grand National Series became known as the Winston Cup Series starting in 1971, with a new points system and some important cash benefits to compete for championship points. In 1972, the season was shortened from 48 contests (including two on grime 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 passed down from the top department and soon found a sponsor in Busch Beverage.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (bottom), and team in victory lane in 2005In 2004, Nextel Communications required over sponsorship of the premier series from R. J. Reynolds, who got sponsored it as the Winston Cup from 1972 until 2003, and officially 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 ten races to go, making only drivers in the top ten or within 400 points of the leader eligible to win the championship.
In 3 years ago, NASCAR announced it was expanding "The Chase" from ten to twelve motorists, eliminating the 400-point cut-off, and giving a ten-point bonus to the top twelve drivers for each and every of the races they have won out of the first 26. Wins throughout the season would also be granted five more points within previous seasons. In 2008, the premier series title name became the Sprint Cup Series, as part of the merger between Nextel and Sprint.
In 2011, NASCAR announced a number of major rules changes, the most considerable being abandoning the points system from the 1947 club napkin. The winner of the race now receives 43 points, with one-point decrements for every single 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 lap, plus the driver who leads the most laps. Another substantial change involves the qualifying process for the Chase. The amount of being qualified drivers will remain at 12, but only the top 10 will qualify exclusively on regular-season points.
The remaining two Chase motorists will be the two drivers in the next 10 of the point standings (11th through 20th) with the most competition wins in the regular season.
In 2014, NASCAR announced another revamp to the Chase format, growing the Chase pool to 16 drivers, and getting rid of 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 head is winless; points head will receive an automatic berth) gaining an area in the chase. If there are less than sixteen winners, the remaining areas will be filled dependent on the conventional factors system.
Monster Energy became the title sponsor in 2017, which changed the series' name to Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. With Monster Energy's name sponsorship, NASCAR also left behind "The Chase" name and now refers to the last 10 races simply as "the playoffs" similar to other sports.
