About the NASCAR Cup Series

The NASCAR Cup Series is the top level of stock car racing in the United States. It features the most experienced drivers and best-funded teams, with a schedule of about 36 races across a variety of tracks, including superspeedways, road courses, and short tracks. The season ends with a playoff format involving 16 drivers, culminating in a four-driver championship race. Iconic events like the Daytona 500 and Coca-Cola 600 are part of the Cup calendar, and the series is known for its intense competition and large fan base.

About the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series 

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is America’s top national pickup-truck stock‑car series, now in its 31st season. It races powerful, purpose-built trucks across ovals and road courses, offering a unique blend of speed, strategy, and close‑quarters competition. Positioned below the Cup and Xfinity Series, the Truck Series is a proving ground where rising stars make their mark, veterans sharpen their craft, and fans enjoy some of NASCAR’s most intense, grassroots-style racing.

NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour (NWMT) is the oldest division of NASCAR, first established in 1985 as the sanctioning body’s first official touring series. The “Modifieds” are instantly recognisable thanks to their open-wheel design, powerful engines, and lightweight chassis, which make them some of the fastest short-track cars in NASCAR.
