List of NASCAR seasons (Johnsonverse)

NASCAR, originally an acronym for National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing, held its first season in 1949. NASCAR runs a number of racing series, including five nation-wide race divisions: the top level NASCAR RCA Cup Series; the convertible racing of the NASCAR Arby's Convertible Series; the "minor league" proving ground NASCAR Busch Series; the pickup truck racing of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series; and the SUV racing of the NASCAR Howard Johnson's SUV Series.
The NASCAR championship seasons consist of a series of races held on purpose-built tracks. The results of each race are combined to determine two championships in each of the top series, one for drivers and one for manufacturers. The Drivers' Championship is awarded to each division's most successful NASCAR driver over a season, as determined by a points system, and has been awarded since the first NASCAR season in 1949. The Manufacturers' Championship is awarded to each division's most successful NASCAR manufacturer over a season, also determined by a points system based on race results. The Manufacturers' Championship was first awarded in 1952.
