About: List of NASCAR Champions From 1949 - 2013   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

This is a list of National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) champions; that is, a list of all the champions in NASCAR's three major series (Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series, and Craftsman Truck Series). The NASCAR championships are awarded at the end of each season to the driver who has amassed the most points throughout the year. The point totals are determined each week by the driver's final position in a race and the amount of laps they have led in it. The current points system was adopted by NASCAR in 1975 and continues into the present day NEXTEL Cup with slight changes and a ten-race playoff format created in 2004. The Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck series have always used this system, sans the playoff.

  • This is a list of National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) champions; that is, a list of all the champions in NASCAR's three major series (Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series, and Craftsman Truck Series). The NASCAR championships are awarded at the end of each season to the driver who has amassed the most points throughout the year. The point totals are determined each week by the driver's final position in a race and the amount of laps they have led in it. The current points system was adopted by NASCAR in 1975 and continues into the present day NEXTEL Cup with slight changes and a ten-race playoff format created in 2004. The Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck series have always used this system, sans the playoff. Since its founding in 1948, NASCAR has held 92 combined seasons in its three major series with a total of 51 separate champions. The first championship awarded was to Red Byron in 1949. Greg Biffle and Bobby Labonte are the only drivers to have won championships in two of the three series during their NASCAR career. Biffle has come the closest to winning all three (past champion of Busch and Craftsman Truck series and runner-up in the 2005 NEXTEL Cup), but this feat has yet to be accomplished. The current defending champions are Jimmie Johnson in the Sprint Cup, Carl Edwards in the Nationwide Series, and Ted Musgrave in the Craftsman Truck Series.
