The Beast 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 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 2018 MENCS Champion is Joey Logano. The record for most championships is 7, held by three drivers: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and Jimmie Johnson. Johnson has the report for many consecutive with five 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 won 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 advertising, found a popular and demographically suitable consumer base in NASCAR fans and involved NASCAR as a promotional outlet.
Because of that sponsorship, the Grand National Series became referred to as Winston Cup Series starting in 1971, with a new factors system and some significant cash benefits to compete for championship points. Within 1972, the season was shortened from 48 races (including two on dust 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 very best division and soon found a sponsor in Busch Ale.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (bottom), and team in victory lane in 2005Within 2004, Nextel Communications required over sponsorship of the premier series from Ur. 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 win the championship.
In 2007, NASCAR announced it was expanding "The Chase" from ten to twelve motorists, 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 out of the first 26. Wins throughout the season would also be awarded five more points than in previous seasons. In 2008, the premier series name name became the Sprint Cup Series, as part of the merger between Nextel and Sprint.
Within 2011, NASCAR announced several of major rules changes, the most significant 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 motorists who lead a lap, plus the driver who leads the most laps. Another significant change involves the qualifying process for the Chase. The number of being qualified drivers will remain at 12, but only the top 10 will qualify exclusively 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 race wins in the regular season.
In 2014, NASCAR announced another revamp to the Chase format, expanding the Chase pool to 16 drivers, and removing 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 innovator is winless; points innovator will receive an automatic berth) gaining a spot in the chase. If there are less than sixteen 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 Beast Energy NASCAR Cup Collection. 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.
