The National Association for Share Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is an American auto racing sanctioning and working company that is best known for stock-car race. Its three most significant or National series would be the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, the Xfinity Series, and the Gander Outdoors Vehicle Series.
Regional series include the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and Western, the Whelen Modified Tour, NASCAR Pinty's Series NASCAR Whelen Euro Series and NASCAR PEAK Mexico Collection. NASCAR sanctions over 1, 500 races at over 100 tracks in 48 US states as well as in Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
NASCAR has presented races at the Suzuka and Motegi circuits in Japan, and the Calder Park Thunderdome in Australia. NASCAR also ventures into eSports via the PEAK Antifreeze NASCAR iRacing Series and a approved ladder system on that title.
The privately owned company was founded by Bill France Sr. in 1948, and his son Brian France has been CEO since 2003. The particular company's headquarters is in Daytona Beach, Florida. Worldwide, its races are transmit on tv set in over 150 countries.
The Creature Energy NASCAR Cup Collection (MENCS) is the sport's highest level of professional competition. It is therefore the most famous and most profitable NASCAR series.
Since i b?rjan p? tv?tusentalet, the Cup Series season has consisted of 36 races 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 frequently occurs.
The 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 record for most 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 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 been banned from tv set advertising, found a well known and demographically suitable consumer base in NASCAR fans and engaged NASCAR as a promotional outlet.
Due to that support, the Grand National Series became referred to as Winston Glass Series starting in 1971, with a new points system and some substantial cash benefits to contend for championship points. In 1972, the season was shortened from 48 contests (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 approved down from the top department and soon found a sponsor in Busch Beverage.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (bottom), and team in victory lane in 2005Within 2004, Nextel Communications took over sponsorship of the premier series from L. J. Reynolds, who experienced 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 motorists, eliminating the 400-point cutoff, and giving a ten-point bonus to the top twelve drivers for every single of the races they have won out from the first twenty six. Wins throughout the season would also be awarded five more points than in previous seasons. In 08, the premier series name name became the Run Cup Series, as part of the merger between Nextel and Sprint.
In 2011, NASCAR announced a number 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 motorists who lead a lap, plus the driver who leads the most laps. Another substantial change requires the qualifying process for the Chase. The number of being approved drivers will remain at 12, but only the top 10 will qualify exclusively 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 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 leader is winless; points leader will receive an automatic berth) gaining an area in the chase. If there are less than sixteen winners, the remaining spots will be filled centered on the conventional points system.
Monster Energy became the title sponsor in 2017, which changed the series' name to Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Collection. With Monster Energy's title sponsorship, NASCAR also left behind "The Chase" name and now refers to the last 10 races simply as "the playoffs" similar to most other sports.
