List of NASCAR Xfinity Series champions (Jayverse)

The NASCAR Xfinity Series Drivers' Championship is awarded by the chairman in NASCAR to the most successful Xfinity Series racing car driver over a season, as determined by a points system based on race results. The Drivers' Championship was first awarded in 1982, to Jack Ingram. The first driver to win multiple Championships was Sam Ard in 1983 and 1984. The current Drivers' Champion is REDACTED.
As of the 1996 season, the Championship has been decided using NASCAR's "Playoff" system. 12 drivers qualify for the Playoffs; After qualifying for the Playoffs, drivers have their points reset to 5 points behind 1st to 12th place points drivers, This method is also used for eliminating drivers who qualified for the Playoffs but didn't advance into the next round. The Xfinity Series Playoffs start with 12 drivers in the Round of 12, then cut off the lowest 4 non-winners in the points standings after 3 races. This process is repeated with the remaining drivers for the Round of 8, leaving 4 drivers still eligible to win the championship that season. Following the Round of 8, all previously accumulated playoff points are reset, leaving the "Championship 4" drivers all with an equal opportunity to win the championship in the 1-race final round at Ontario Motor Speedway. The highest-finishing driver out of the Championship 4 is then declared the champion.
