List of NASCAR champions
List of NASCAR champions
This is a list of National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) champions; that is, a list of all the champions in NASCAR’s three major series (Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series, and Craftsman Truck Series). The NASCAR championships are awarded at the end of each season to the driver who has amassed the most points throughout the season. The point totals are determined each week by the drivers’ final positions in a race and the number of laps led by each driver, if any, during the race. The current points system, adopted by NASCAR in 1975, is still used in the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck series, and was used through 2003 in the Cup Series. Since 2004 the NEXTEL Cup series has implemented slight scoring changes and a ten-race "playoff" format. Since its founding in 1948, NASCAR has held 92 combined seasons in its three major series with a total of 51 separate champions. The first championship awarded was to Red Byron in 1949. Greg Biffle, Bobby Labonte and Johnny Benson are the only drivers to have won championships in two of the three series during their NASCAR career. Biffle has come the closest to winning all three (past champion of Busch and Craftsman Truck series and runner-up in the 2005 NEXTEL Cup), but this feat has yet to be accomplished. As of November 16, 2008, the current defending champions are Jimmie Johnson in the Sprint Cup, Clint Bowyer in the Nationwide Series, and Johnny Benson in the Craftsman Truck Series.
