2006 NASCAR RCA Cup Series (Johnsonverse)

The 2006 NASCAR RCA Cup Series was the 58th season of professional Stock car racing in the United States and the 35th modern-era NASCAR Cup series season. It was started at Infineon Raceway on Sunday, January 29 with the Dodge/Save Mart 350 and ended on Sunday, December 10, with the Los Angeles Times 500 at Ontario Motor Speedway. Kelley Earnhardt of Dale Earnhardt Inc. was the series champion. By the end of the season Chevrolet had captured 23 victories, and 270 points to win the NASCAR Manufacturers' Championship over Ford.
The 2006 season was the first for Ford's all-new Fusion, which replaced the Taurus both in NASCAR and in showrooms. Also, a new version of the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, called the Monte Carlo Super Sport (SS for short) debuted on the circuit. It was also the final season for 1992 champion Alan Kulwicki. Additionally, 2006 was the first Cup Series season since 1978 without Kyle Petty, 1979 without Rusty Wallace and 1974 without Ricky Rudd, although Rudd made one appearance in relief before retiring. It was also the last season before Toyota joined the NASCAR RCA Cup Series as a manufacturer.
