Sixty-four seasons of NASCAR, the highest class of stock car auto racing in the United States. The NASCAR championship season consists of a series of races held usually on purpose-built tracks. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual championships in each of the top series, one for drivers and one for manufacturer. The Drivers' Championship is awarded to the most successful NASCAR driver over a season, as determined by a points system based on race results, and has been awarded since the first NASCAR season in 1949. The Manufacturers' Championship is awarded to the 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.
Famous quotes containing the word seasons:
“I will venture to affirm, that the three seasons wherein our corn has miscarried did no more contribute to our present misery, than one spoonful of water thrown upon a rat already drowned would contribute to his death; and that the present plentiful harvest, although it should be followed by a dozen ensuing, would no more restore us, than it would the rat aforesaid to put him near the fire, which might indeed warm his fur-coat, but never bring him back to life.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
