NASCAR racing is popular across the United States and Canada, with fast-paced action and dramatic moments occurring in most events. The NASCAR season is a long one, spanning 38 weeks, meaning that there are regular events for fans of the sport to enjoy throughout the year, too!

If you want to bet on the NASCAR Cup Series Championship, which is the top honour in the sport, BetVictor have got you covered. We offer comprehensive NASCAR odds for all drivers, alongside in-play betting options, a host of bonus offers, and so much more!

The NASCAR Cup Series Championship represents the pinnacle of American stock car racing. This premier competition brings together the best drivers, teams, and manufacturers for an intense 36-race season.

Each season spans nearly ten months, testing competitors across diverse tracks including short ovals, massive superspeedways, and challenging road courses. Racing teams battle for multiple championships throughout each campaign, with points accumulating from February through November.

Competition extends beyond individual driver glory. Teams compete for the Owner's Championship while manufacturers fight for their own title based on cumulative points data tracked across all races.

Standings shift constantly as drivers earn points through consistent performance and race victories. The championship format creates drama at every level, from rookie drivers seeking their first wins to veteran competitors chasing their final shot at glory.

Playoffs transformed the championship landscape starting in 2004, with the current elimination-style format launching in 2014. This system narrows the field progressively, creating must-win scenarios and high-stakes racing.

Eliminated playoff drivers continue competing for positions 5th through 16th in the final standings, ensuring every race matters. Manufacturer standings and team points remain crucial elements, making each weekend a multi-layered competition where every position counts toward season-long goals.

The Format of the NASCAR Cup Series Championship

The NASCAR Cup Series Championship follows a playoff format that starts with 16 drivers. These playoffs span the final 10 races of the season, split into four exciting rounds. Drivers qualify for playoffs by winning a regular-season race. If fewer than 16 winners exist, the highest-ranked drivers in points fill the remaining spots. A total of four drivers are then eliminated in each round until only four remain.

The Championship 4 round determines everything, with four finalists competing at Phoenix Raceway for the ultimate prize. All four championship contenders start the final race with equal points, regardless of their previous playoff performance. The driver who finishes highest among the final four at Phoenix wins the entire championship!
