The Nascar Sprint Cup Seriesford is one of the
greatest American racing competitions, featuring stock cars. It was
first held in 1949 and is held each year since, under a number of names.
It features cars by manufactures such as Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet and
Dodge. The cars run on tires by Goodyear. At present, the reigning
champion is Tony Stewart as the Drivers’ Champion, Stewart Haas Racing
as the Teams’ Champion and Chevrolet as the Makes’ Champion. It is the
top racing series among the several that are organized by NASCAR, the
National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. For those who want to
see it live, this is easily done by booking Nascar Sprint Cup Seriesford tickets.
The Nascar Sprint Cup Seriesford
is named after its sponsor, Sprint, and has been named as such since
2005. The winner of this series is decided in terms of laps led and the
placement at the finished line. The drivers who compete in this race are
the top ten highest ranked drivers in the first twenty six races of a
season filled with thirty six racers. Two more drivers, ranking from
eleventh to twentieth are chosen based upon number of races won. It
attracts a large number of viewers from the Southeastern parts of the
US; half of its races are also held in this region.
One of the best known races in the Nascar Sprint Cup Seriesford,
the Daytona 500, was seen by sixteen million people in 2009 alone, a
figure that has increased since then. Outside of the US, millions more
watch the series. Races have also been organized in Australia, Japan and
Canada. These races are made even more unique by the fact that the
engines allow for speeds of more than two hundred miles per hour but
this, added to being heavy and not aerodynamic, results in poor handling
of the vehicles and thus a need for expert drivers. Electronics are
generally lacking in stock cars, resulting in a more adrenaline fueled
racing competition.
The Nascar Sprint Cup Seriesford
began as the Strictly Stock division and was then dubbed as the Grand
National. The first race took place at the Charlotte Speedway and the
winner of the race was Jim Roper after the actual winner, Glenn
Dunnaway, was disqualified due to his using altered rear springs. The
first series was won by Red Byron. All in all, this is a series that
many see live each year, after ordering Nascar Sprint Cup Seriesford tickets.
Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty hold the record for the most
championships won, at seven, and Jimmie Johnson holds the record for the
largest number of consecutive championships won, at five.
