WINSTON CUP STANDINGS (1949-2001)
Overview

NASCAR has used various point systems since 1949 to determine the series champion, as well as the other top finishers. The current point system, adopted in 1975, gives points to every driver in the field, provided they entered the race prior to the entry deadline. The same point system is used for every race, regardless of distance or type of track.
