About the NASCAR Cup Series
The Cup Series is NASCAR’s premier stock-car racing series. Drivers compete as individuals on track, while racing organizations can field multiple cars. A driver, car number, and team are distinct identities — several drivers may share the same team.
Drivers and teams
A racing organization can field multiple cars. Race results show the individual drivers and car numbers that took part.
The 2026 championship
The Chase puts the top 16 Cup drivers from the regular season into a ten-race championship contest. There are no elimination rounds; the driver with the most points at the end wins the title.
Background checked September 11, 2026. Sources: NASCAR and 23XI Racing.
