The particular National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is an American auto racing sanctioning and operating company that is best known for stock-car racing. Its three greatest or National series are the Beast Energy NASCAR Cup Series, the Xfinity Series, and the Gander Outdoors Pickup truck Series.

NASCAR has presented races at the Suzuka and Motegi circuits in Japan, and the Calder Park Thunderdome in Australia. NASCAR also endeavors into eSports via the PEAK Antifreeze NASCAR iRacing Series and a sanctioned ladder system on that title.
The privately owned company was founded by Bill France Sr. in 1948, and his grand son Brian France has been CEO since 2003. The company's headquarters is in Daytona Beach, Florida. Worldwide, its races are transmitted on television set in over 150 countries.
The Beast Energy NASCAR Cup Collection (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 contained 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 common.
The particular 2018 MENCS Champion is Joey Logano. The record for most championships is 7, held by 3 drivers: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and Jimmie Manley. Johnson has the report for many consecutive with five consecutive Cup Series drivers' championships from 2006 to 2010. Previously, the most consecutive championships had been three in a line by Cale Yarborough in the late 1970s, the only other time when a driver has earned three or more NASCAR Cup Series championships in a row.
The Cup Series had its first title sponsor in 1972. R. J. Reynolds Cigarette Company, which had been banned from tv advertising, found a well known and demographically suitable consumer base in NASCAR fans and engaged NASCAR as a promotional outlet.
Because of that sponsorship, the Grand National Collection became referred to as Winston Mug Series starting in 1971, with a new factors system and some substantial cash benefits to compete for championship points. In 1972, the season was shortened from 48 competitions (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 approved down from the top division and soon found a sponsor in Busch Ale.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (bottom), and team in victory lane in 2004In 2004, Nextel Communications got over sponsorship of the premier series from L. 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 ten 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 of the races they have won out of the first twenty six. Wins throughout the season would also be granted 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 substantial being abandoning the points system from the 1947 bar napkin. The winner of the 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 drivers who lead a lap, plus the driver who leads the most laps. Another significant change entails the qualifying process for the Chase. The number of being qualified drivers will remain at 12, but only the top ten will qualify solely on regular-season points.
The remaining two Chase drivers 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 leader is winless; points innovator will receive an computerized berth) gaining a spot in the chase. If there are less than 16 winners, the remaining places will be filled based on the conventional points system.
Monster Energy became the title sponsor in 2017, which changed the series' name to Creature Energy NASCAR Cup Series. With Monster Energy's title sponsorship, NASCAR also abandoned "The Chase" name and now refers to the last 10 races simply as "the playoffs" similar to most other sports.
