NASCAR is considered the pinnacle of stock car racing and its highest level, Cup Series, is a culmination of talented drivers who race hard to win the coveted championship. Contrary to popular beliefs, NASCAR racing is not always about oval racing. The events are distributed on Short Tracks, Speedways, Super-Speedways and Road Courses.

It produces an incredibly challenging calendar of events which end the Regular season of Cup Series. The real drama of the Cup Series starts during the Chase for Cup events. In these races, the Top-16 winners of the season participate in elimination races to race for the final crown of the Cup Series.

NASCAR racing has produced many legends to motorsports in the form of events and drivers. Daytona 500 and the other Crown Jewel races are some of the most sought after racing events in America. Richard the “King” Petty is a well known name in the motorsports community due to his incredible legacy in NASCAR. However, the drivers would be unable to win if they didn’t have a supportive team.

NASCAR teams are the most important factor behind the races. It's the team which organizes the current driver lineups, helps finalize sponsors and ultimately provides a good performing car to the driver. Teams are usually allowed to choose between three manufacturers, Toyota, Ford and Chevrolet. There have been many great teams in the history of NASCAR like Richard Childress Racing, Hendrick Motorsports and Petty Enterprises.
