History of the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race
The NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race was introduced in 2014 as part of the playoffs system to determine the NASCAR Cup Series champion. The race is the culmination of a ten-race playoff format that narrows the field to four drivers competing for the title. Held initially at Homestead-Miami Speedway until 2019, the championship race moved to Phoenix Raceway in 2020.
The highest-finishing driver among the four remaining contenders wins the Cup Series Championship, making the event one of the most anticipated and intense races on the NASCAR calendar.
