History
Grand National From 1950 through 1971, the top tier NASCAR series was called the Grand National, not to be confused with the current Busch Grand National Series, the second tier division of NASCAR. NASCAR Busch Series logo The Busch Series is a stock car racing series owned and operated by NASCAR. It is NASCARs second division, and is a proving ground for drivers who wish to step up to the organizations top level, the Nextel Cup. ...
Winston Cup From 1972 through 2003, the NASCAR premier series was called the Winston Cup Series. It was called this, as it was sponsored by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco (RJR) as an advertising mechanisim, to bring attention to one of their brands of cigarettes. Reynolds American Inc. ...
A cigarette will burn to ash on one end. ...
NEXTEL Cup In 2003, RJR dropped its sponsorship of the top series, and NASCAR obtained a sponsorship from NEXTEL, a telecommunications company. Starting in 2004, the premier series was known as the NEXTEL Cup. Sprint Nextel Corporation NYSE: S, headquartered in Reston, Virginia, is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the United States. ...
The merger between Sprint and NEXTEL will result in the series being renamed Sprint Cup in 2007. See also:2006 in sports, 2008 in sports, list of years in sports. Scheduled Events January 15 - WWE Briana Kelly Armageddon held at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California February 4 - Super Bowl XLI held at Dolphins Stadium in Miami, Florida. ...
Chase for the Cup Prior to the 2004 season, a series of rules and scoring changes resulted in a new formula for declaring a series champion. After 26 races, the top 10 drivers in points (plus any driver within 400 points of the leader who may be outside the top 10) are placed in the Chase for the Championship. Eligible drivers' points are elevated to a level mathematically unattainable by anyone outside this field. Points are also bunched together in 5-point increments so the leader is 5 points ahead of second place, 10 points ahead of third place, all the way to 45 points ahead of 10th place, continuing in 5-point increments if there are more than 10 drivers in the chase. Race layouts remain the same and points are scored the same way in the final 10 races. Whoever leads in points after the 36th race is declared the NEXTEL Cup champion.
This playoff system was implemented primarily to increase television ratings during the National Football League season, and to make the points race more competitive. Previously, the champion may have been decided before the last race (or even several races before the end of the season) because it was mathematically impossible for any other driver to gain enough points. The National Football League (NFL) is the largest professional American football league, consisting of thirty-two teams from American cities. ...
Championship Points System | Position | Points | | 1st | 180 | | 2nd | 170 | | 3rd | 165 | | 4th | 160 | | 5th | 155 | | 6th | 150 | | 7th | 146 | | 8th | 142 | | 9th | 138 | | 10th | 134 | | 11th | 130 | | 12th | 127 | | 13th | 124 | | 14th | 121 | | 15th | 118 | | 16th | 115 | | 17th | 112 | | 18th | 109 | | 19th | 106 | | 20th | 103 | | 21st | 100 | | 22nd | 97 | | 23rd | 94 | | 24th | 91 | | 25th | 88 | | 26th | 85 | | 27th | 82 | | 28th | 79 | | 29th | 76 | | 30th | 73 | | 31st | 70 | | 32nd | 67 | | 33rd | 64 | | 34th | 61 | | 35th | 58 | | 36th | 55 | | 37th | 52 | | 38th | 49 | | 39th | 46 | | 40th | 43 | | 41st | 40 | | 42nd | 37 | | 43rd | 34 | For all NASCAR series Championships, (including Busch and Truck) points are given out for each race based on two categories: Final Position, and Laps Led. NASCAR Busch Series logo The Busch Series is a stock car racing series owned and operated by NASCAR. It is NASCARs second division, and is a proving ground for drivers who wish to step up to the organizations top level, the Nextel Cup. ...
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series logo The Craftsman Truck Series is a popular NASCAR racing series that features modified pickup trucks. ...
For points according to position, there are three different scales. First Place gets 180 points, with ten points separating first from second. After second place (170 points), the first scale starts, with five points separating second through sixth place. After sixth place the second scale starts, separating drivers by four points for positions seven through eleven. After that, the third scale is in effect, separating the rest of the field by three points. (see chart on right) This is why cars will sometimes go back on track after a wreck, even if they have no chance of winning. By moving up 3 positions, they gain nine more points.
For points according to laps led, every driver that leads a lap in a NASCAR race gets an additional five points, on top of what they earned based on position. In addition, the driver that lead the most laps earns an additional five points, for a maximum of ten points.
NEXTEL Cup Driver's Championship After the 26th race with ten races to go, the Driver's Championship points are changed in accordance with the "Chase for the Cup", with the leader in championship points having their total altered to 5050 points, second place altered to 5045, and so on for all eligible drivers.
One important note is that the points system does not change after the 26th race. (during the "Chase for the Cup") While the only drivers eligible for the championship are those in the chase, all points are awarded in the same manner. Another important note is that only the NEXTEL Cup standings points are altered, not for any other series.
NEXTEL Cup Owner's Championship The NEXTEL Cup Owner's Championship operates in the same manner as the Driver's Championship, but with one addition. In the event of more than 43 cars attempting to qualify, owner's points are awarded to each car in the following manner: the fastest non-qualifier (in essence, 44th position) receives 31 points, three less than the 43rd position car. If there are more than one non-qualifying cars, owners points continue to be assigned in the manner described, that it, decreasing by three for each position. This usually has little effect in changing the Owner's Championship positions for full-time drivers, but rather, in the lower rankings of NASCAR.
NEXTEL Cup Manufacturer's Championship NASCAR does have a little known Manufacturer's Championship, although the Driver's Championship is considered more prestigious. The winning driver earns nine points for their manufacturer, the second best manufacturer gains six points, third best gains four points, and fourth (if there is more than three manufacturers) gains three points.
