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 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 Cup Series had its first title sponsor in 1972. R. J. Reynolds Cigarette Company, which had already been banned from television set advertising, found a favorite and demographically suitable consumer base in NASCAR fans and engaged NASCAR as a marketing outlet.
Because of that support, the Grand National Series became referred to as Winston Mug Series starting in 1971, with a new points system and some important cash benefits to contend for championship points. In 1972, the season was shortened from 48 competitions (including two on grime tracks) to 31.

Reynolds, who experienced 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 earn the championship.
In 3 years ago, NASCAR announced it was expanding "The Chase" from ten to twelve drivers, eliminating the 400-point cut-off, and giving a ten-point bonus to the top twelve drivers for every single of the races they have won out from 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 Run Cup Series, as part of the merger between Nextel and Sprint.
Within 2011, NASCAR announced a number of major rules changes, the most significant being abandoning the points system from the 1947 club 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 receives 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 amount of qualifying drivers will remain at 12, but only the top ten 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 race wins in the regular season.
In 2014, NASCAR announced another revamp to the Chase format, expanding 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 were given an increased emphasis, with the 16 drivers with the most wins (15 if the points innovator is winless; points head will receive an computerized berth) gaining an area 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 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.
