NASCAR Cup Series Champion Betting Tips: 3 Keys to Consider

NASCAR is North America’s premier stock car racing series, featuring 36 races across multiple track types.

There are several common trends to remember when betting on NASCAR Cup Series champions. While the format for crowning a champ has changed several times, similar trends can be applied to breaking down the championship contenders over the last decade.

How the NASCAR Playoffs Work

Since 2014, NASCAR has implemented a format that breaks the year into 26 regular-season races and then a 10-race playoff to decide the title. Sixteen drivers qualify for the postseason, with four eliminated in each of the opening four race rounds based on point totals.

A win automatically gets you both into the postseason and moves drivers to the next round of the playoffs. The three rounds boil down to the four eligible drivers after the third round, who move on to the season's last race.

The race within a race is between that quartet with the highest finisher among the group claiming the crown.

As drivers navigate the gauntlet of the grueling season, three keys have historically led to winning the championship.
