2007 NASCAR RCA Cup Series (Johnsonverse)

The 2007 NASCAR RCA Cup Series was the 59th season of professional stock car racing in the United States and the 36th modern-era Cup series. Beginning on January 28 at Infineon Raceway with the Toyota/Save Mart 350, the season ended on November 18 at Ontario Motor Speedway with the Los Angeles Times 500. Jeff Gordon of Hendrick Motorsports won his third championship.
Chevrolet captured the NASCAR Manufacturers' Championship with 25 wins, over second-place Dodge who had 11 wins. Ford finished third with 9 wins, and Toyota, in their first RCA Cup season, finished out with no wins.
This was also the first season without Alan Kulwicki since 1984.
==Top stories and controversies==
===Joe Gibbs Racing to Toyota===
During the season rumors began to surface that Joe Gibbs Racing, owned by then-Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs, would be switching to the new manufacturer Toyota for the 2008 season. This switch would be significant for several reasons, one of them being that JGR had been allied with General Motors since its inception in 1992, first with Chevrolet then beginning in 1997 with Pontiac, then switched back to Chevrolet in 2003, a year before Pontiac left NASCAR. The switch to Toyota would benefit the manufacturer itself, as they would be allied with a championship-caliber team. As JGR loans equipment to Hall of Fame Racing, the team confirmed that they would also switch to Toyota if JGR did so. On September 5, the rumors were confirmed.
===Dale Jarrett announces retirement===
During the race weekend for the Bank of America 500 at Lowe's Motor Speedway, Joe Gibbs Racing held a press conference. During the announcement, it was revealed to the racing world that Dale Jarrett would retire from full-time driving following the end of the 2008 season. After 2008, Jarrett would hand over the #18 car to Matt Kenseth.
===Goodyear strike and the return of Hoosier===
In late 2006, Goodyear workers went on strike, putting tire production in jeopardy. NASCAR met with Hoosier and created a backup plan that called for Hoosier to produce tires for the 2007 season. The strike was not resolved in time for the season, and most of the season was run on Hoosier tires across all three national series and all regional series that had been running Goodyears; 2007 marked the first year Hoosiers ran in the Cup Series since 1994. Hoosier's return ended up being one of the top stories of Speedweeks, along with the various cheating scandals during qualifying. Goodyear tires finally returned in time for the UAW-Ford 500 at Talladega in the fall. Hoosier, however, did not leave, and both tire makes remained in the Cup Series as insurance against potential future strikes. This had the unfortunate side-effect of sparking a third tire war between the two makes (due to the strike annulling Goodyear's contract as the exclusive tire supplier of NASCAR), a war that is still ongoing as of 2021 and expanded in 2015 when Firestone entered the fray.
==Teams, drivers, and manufacturers==
Each RCA Cup race had a field of 46 cars.
For the first five races of 2007, the top 35 teams in owners points (not drivers' points) in 2006 earned an exemption into each race. If a driver went to a new team, he did not have a guaranteed starting spot, but his old team did, except if that new team was an exempt team. If a past champion is not driving for an exempt team (outside the top 35 in owner points), he may be eligible to use a past champions' provisional to enter the race. The provisional guarantees a spot to the most recent champion not exempt, but those who are former champions will be limited to six for the entire 2007 season.
Teams not exempt must "race" their way in during qualifying – if 50 cars are attempting to make the race, and no one is using a provisional, then there are 12 cars racing for eight spots, and the eight fastest cars will make the race. (The Daytona 500, which uses a different qualifying procedure, is the only exception to this rule, though the top 35 are still locked in.)
Starting with the sixth race in 2007, the top 35 teams were awarded exemptions for the next race.

*-The Autism Society 400 was originally called the Autism Speaks 400. However, Tammy Jo Johnson, whose children Tim and Chloe both have autism, encouraged NASCAR to replace Autism Speaks with Autism Society due to her considering Autism Speaks "evil", and Autism Speaks sued for breach of contract, which was settled out of court.
