About NASCAR Cup Series
The NASCAR Cup Series is top-tier of three national touring series in the sport alongside the Xfinity Series and Truck Series. The Cup Series operates with a points system. The driver sitting atop the leaderboard to finish the regular season earns 15 playoff points. The Cup Series playoff features the 16 highest-scoring drivers competing through four rounds. A winning driver and winning owner are annually crowned separately.
The Cup Series season runs from February to November every year. NASCAR relocated its Championship Weekend from Homestead-Miami Speedway, which hosted the event for 18 seasons, to ISM Raceway near Phoenix, Arizona.
Iconic tracks that host Cup Series races include the Charlotte Motor Speedway, Daytona International Speedway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Talladega Superspeedway. The Daytona 500 has annually served as the season-opening Cup Series race since 1982.
History of NASCAR Cup Series
The NASCAR Cup Series was founded in 1949 by Bill France Sr. and has undergone several evolutions since. It began as the Strictly Stock Series before switching to the Grand National Series (1950-71), Winston Cup Series (1971-2003), Nextel Cup Series (2004-07), Sprint Cup Series (2008-16) and the Monster Energy Series through the 2019 season.
NASCAR opted against renewing with Monster Energy and instead announced the Cup Series would feature a multilayered sponsorship model in December 2019. Busch Beer, Coca-Cola, GEICO, and Xfinity were named as "premier partners."
The trophy was renamed the Bill France Cup ahead of the 2020 season, the first without a title sponsor since 1971.
Richard Petty is the winningest all-time Cup Series driver with 200. The octogenarian notched his first win in 1960 and his last in 1984. In March 2019, though, Petty was surpassed by Kyle Busch in terms of all-time combined national series wins.
Jimmy Johnson topped the Cup Series from 2006 to 2010, marking the first time one driver had won in consecutive years since Jeff Gordon (1997-98). The late Dale Earnhardt did so on three separate occasions (1986-87, 1990-91 and 1993-94).
Love nascar,but the stage racing sucks,needs to go.
The new AMS is the best ever! You will want to get tickets for any race they have. Action packed the whole race.
Great seats, great crowd and a great time is had by all at a NASCAR RACE. We love that we can bring in drinks and snacks for the event. Though there are lots of concession options. We like to get there early to do a little shopping out in the parking lots, lots of fan memorabilia to choose from.
Tickets were easy to get, great value. We had front row seats near the start/finish line. Mobile tickets, no wait!!
Great race! The parking was easy and free. The weather was nice and our overall day was awesome. It would have been even better if our driver would have won. ??
Track easily accessible and parking was plentiful.
First time at Atlanta motor speedway. Sundays race was pretty darn good. Lots of lead changes, 37 or so Yellow laps and kinda surprise ending 260 plus laps! The new banking made it a lot faster and less parade like laps. Will go again
Enjoyed myself. Liked the free parking and well organized. Staff very helpful.
I love having my tickets available on my phone with just a touch of my finger. I checked it a few days before the event and then as I was entering the track. It was easy and comforting. Well done.
I am an Oxygen dependent Disabled Veteran so walking long distances is a challenge for me. Our seats were in the Petty stands which was quite a walk from where we parked. Upon entry to the track (the walk from the lot to the track wasn’t that bad) we were immediately directed to a shuttle stop. After a short 3 minute wait a cart came and took us right to our stands. When it was time to go another cart took us all the way back to the parking lot literally 50 feet from our car! I was worried about all of the walking and how it would affect my experience at the track or if I could even handle it. The staff was more than accommodating and made sure I was taken care of. This was our first experience at Atlanta Motor Speedway and we will definitely be back. Thank you for making this a World Class experience for me and my crew.
