2009 NASCAR Pepsi Cup Series Season

The **2009 NASCAR Pepsi Cup Series** was the 61st season of professional stock car racing in the United States, the 38th modern-era Cup series, and the last Cup season of the 21st century's first decade, the 2000s. The season included 36 races and two exhibition races with the regular season beginning with the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway and ending with the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The final ten races were known as 2009 Chase for the Pepsi Cup. Petty Enterprises won the Owners' Championship, while Adam Petty won the Drivers' Championship.

2009 was the first season without NASCAR legends Dale Jarrett (since 1985) and Kyle Petty (since 1978) after they both retired following the 2008 season.
