This happened notably in North Carolina. In 1935, Bill France Sr. established races in Daytona Beach, with the hope that people would come to watch races and that racers would race for him, as other organizers tended to fleece the winners of their payouts. This was a success, and the series was founded in 1948. Races were held in several divisions, which eventually morphed into what is the "ladder:" the <a href="/wiki/NASCAR_Cup_Series" title="NASCAR Cup Series">Cup Series</a> at the top, the <a href="/wiki/NASCAR_Xfinity_Series" title="NASCAR Xfinity Series">Xfinity Series</a> second, and the <a href="/wiki/NASCAR_Craftsman_Truck_Series" title="NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series">Truck Series</a> third, with smaller series spread out below. Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota compete in each series. The vast majority of NASCAR drivers are American, but drivers from Canada, Mexico, Europe, and other places have competed. All Cup Series races are held across America. There are 36 points-paying races in a season, along with the pre-season Clash and mid-season All-Star race. NASCAR runs races primarily on <a href="/wiki/Oval_track_racing" title="Oval track racing">ovals</a>, including superspeedways, short tracks, and <a href="/wiki/Dirt_track_racing" title="Dirt track racing">dirt tracks</a>, but also <a href="/wiki/Road_racing" title="Road racing">road courses</a> and <a href="/wiki/Street_circuit" title="Street circuit">street circuits</a>. <a href="/wiki/Richard_Petty" title="Richard Petty">Richard Petty</a> holds the Cup Series wins record with 200.

It is consequently the most popular and most profitable NASCAR series. Since 2001, the Cup Series season has consisted of 36 races over 10 months.

The 2023 NCS Champion is <a href="/wiki/Ryan_Blaney" title="Ryan Blaney">Ryan Blaney</a>.

A new championship points system, the "<a href="/wiki/Chase_for_the_Sprint_Cup" class="mw-redirect" title="Chase for the Sprint Cup">Chase for the Nextel Cup</a>," (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 win the championship. In 2007, 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 26. Wins throughout the season would also be awarded five more points than in previous seasons. In 2008, the premier series title name became the Sprint Cup Series, as part of the merger between Nextel and <a href="/wiki/Sprint_Corporation" title="Sprint Corporation">Sprint</a>. In 2011, NASCAR announced a number of major rules changes, the most significant being abandoning the points system. The winner of a race now receives 43 points, with one-point decrements for each 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 involves the qualifying process for the Chase. The number of qualifying drivers will remain at 12, but only the top 10 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 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 <a href="/wiki/Homestead%E2%80%93Miami_Speedway" title="Homestead–Miami Speedway">Homestead</a>. In addition, wins were given 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 a spot in the chase. If there are fewer than 16 winners, the remaining spots will be filled based on the conventional points system.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> <a href="/wiki/Monster_Energy" title="Monster Energy">Monster Energy</a> became the title sponsor in 2017, which changed the series' name to Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> 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.

These dual-series drivers have been labeled "<a href="/wiki/Buschwhacker" title="Buschwhacker">Buschwhackers</a>", a play on words which combines the original series sponsor's name with the notion of being bushwhacked. In May 2007, NNS director Joe Balash confirmed that NASCAR was exploring options to deal with the Buschwhacker controversy. One of the most often-cited proposals was for Cup Series drivers participating in the Nationwide Series to receive no points for their participation in a Nationwide race. In 2007, NASCAR chairman <a href="/wiki/Brian_France" title="Brian France">Brian France</a> indicated that all options, except an outright ban of Cup competitors, were still being considered.<a href="#cite_note-toy-buschwackers-33">[33]</a> On January 11, 2011, NASCAR.com reported that beginning with the 2011 season, drivers would be allowed to compete for the championship in only one of NASCAR's three national series in a given season, although they could continue to run in multiple series.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> This change was officially confirmed by France in a press conference less than two weeks later, and has remained in the NASCAR rules ever since.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> Beginning in 2010, the Nationwide cars adapted somewhat to the current "<a href="/wiki/Car_of_Tomorrow" title="Car of Tomorrow">Car of Tomorrow</a>" (or COT) design used by Cup cars, with different bodies from the Cup Series. In 2016, the Chase format was extended to both the Xfinity and Truck Series. Instead of the four-round, 10-race format used in the Cup Series, the Chase in each of the two supporting series consists of three rounds and seven races in all, with each preliminary round consisting of three races. The Xfinity Series Chase involves 12 drivers instead of the 16 participating in the Cup Series Chase. Four drivers are eliminated at the end of each preliminary round of the Chase in the Xfinity Series, which also mirrors the Cup Series Chase. This means that four drivers are eligible for the series title entering the final race, as in the Cup Series.<a href="#cite_note-Xfinity,_Truck_Chase-36">[36]</a> Similar to Cup, starting in 2017 "The Chase" moniker was dropped and the final seven races are now referred to as the Xfinity Playoffs. Even with restrictions limiting points earnings to one national series, Cup drivers were still running and winning a vast majority of Xfinity series races through 2015. Starting with the 2015 season finale, NASCAR began to add additional restrictions in regards to Cup drivers running Xfinity races. Beginning in the 2020 season, Cup drivers with more than three years of experience in the top series were limited to five races per season. Furthermore, those same drivers are ineligible to run the regular season finale, <a href="/wiki/NASCAR_playoffs" title="NASCAR playoffs">NXS playoff</a> races, or <a href="/wiki/Dash_4_Cash" title="Dash 4 Cash">Dash 4 Cash</a> races.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Craftsman_Truck_Series">Craftsman Truck Series</h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/NASCAR_Craftsman_Truck_Series" title="NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series">NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Restart_(43835992120).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Restart_%2843835992120%29.jpg/220px-Restart_%2843835992120%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="144" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="4701" data-file-height="3076"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 144px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Restart_%2843835992120%29.jpg/220px-Restart_%2843835992120%29.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="144" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Restart_%2843835992120%29.jpg/330px-Restart_%2843835992120%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Restart_%2843835992120%29.jpg/440px-Restart_%2843835992120%29.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>The Truck Series at <a href="/wiki/Martinsville_Speedway" title="Martinsville Speedway">Martinsville Speedway</a> in 2018</figcaption></figure> The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series features modified <a href="/wiki/Pickup_trucks" class="mw-redirect" title="Pickup trucks">pickup trucks</a>.
