Eight races were run on seven dirt ovals and on the Daytona Beachbeach/street course. The first NASCAR "Strictly Stock" race was held at Charlotte Speedway on June 19, 1949.

Between 1971 and 2003, NASCAR's premier series was sponsored by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company cigarette brand Winston, dubbing it the Winston Cup Series.

In the Xfinity Series, the championship is known as the Bil...
