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 O'Reilly Auto Parts Series

The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series is NASCAR’s second-tier stock car racing series, positioned just below the premier Cup Series. It’s often viewed as a development league, helping up-and-coming drivers hone their skills before moving up — or offering a successful full-time arena for seasoned drivers.

About the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is the third-highest national division in NASCAR and one of the most distinctive categories in American motorsport. It features full-size pickup trucks, close racing, and a calendar that mixes traditional speedways with short tracks and road courses.
