<h2>History of Cup Series</h2>
NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) is the authorizing body for stock-vehicle racing in North America. It was established in 1948 in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The NASCAR Cup Series is the pinnacle of the racing arrangement in the NASCAR classification. The arrangement started in 1949 and was called the Strictly Stock Division. The series was subsequently known as the Grand National Division from 1950 to 1970.

The NASCAR Series started renting its naming rights to the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in 1971; it was alluded to as the NASCAR Winston Cup Series (1971–2003). In 2003, NASCAR made the arrangement with Nextel, giving birth to the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series (2004–2007).

Sprint obtained Nextel in 2005 and 2008 saw the arrangement renamed as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Sprint remained the sponsor of the NASCAR Cup from 2008 to 2016.

It was reported in December 2016 that Monster Energy would be the sponsor; therefore, the arrangement was renamed the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series from 2017 to 2019.

<h2>Sponsorships</h2>
NASCAR changed the guidelines in 2019, they dismissed Monster's proposal to expand the naming rights post the 2019 season. NASCAR, therefore, declared its transition to another sponsorship model with the 2020 season.

They decided to adopt a similar plan of other professional sports leagues. They essentially consider it the NASCAR Cup Series. The patrons of the arrangement were given another name - Premier Partners. The four Premier Partners are Busch Beer, Coca-Cola, GEICO, and Xfinity.
<h2>Top Drivers</h2>
The best driver throughout the NASCAR Cup Series history has undoubtedly been Richard Petty. Petty dominated 200 NASCAR races over the course of his stint in a stock car and gathered seven NASCAR Cup Championships, the two records.

The first to win the NASCAR Cup Championship seven times, he was a gifted driver and has many records to his name.

Richard was one of the first inductees into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2010. The legend has been quite active as a team owner (Richard Petty Motorsports) in the Cup Series and even owns the Petty's Garage in North Carolina.

<h2>Talladega Superspeedway-Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Track</h2>
Talladega Superspeedway, nicknamed "Dega," and previously named Alabama International Motor Speedway (AIMS), is a motorsports complex found north of Talladega, Alabama. It is situated on the previous Anniston Air Force Base in the little city of Lincoln.

Talladega is the longest NASCAR oval tracks, with a length of 2.66 miles (4.281 km), contrasted with the Daytona International Speedway, which is 2.5 miles (4.0 km) long. The all-out top limit of Talladega is around 175,000 fans, with the grandstand off-limit being around 80,000.
<h2>History</h2>
The tri-oval track was developed in 1969 by the International Speedway Corporation, a business constrained by the France Family.

The track opened on September 13, 1969, at an expense of $4 million. The track was named the "Alabama International Motor Speedway," which lasted for nearly two decades, after which the office's name was changed to "Talladega Superspeedway."

In the primary race at the track, all the first drivers deserted the track because of tire issues, which permitted France to employ substitute drivers with the victor being Richard Brickhouse. After the primary race, Talladega facilitated two Cup Series races a year, one of which would turn out to be important for the 10-race NASCAR Cup Series season finisher design.

A 4-mile (6.4 km) infield street course worked from the track's establishment until 1983. During the 1970s, six IMSA GT Championship races were held at the speedway, including a six-hour race in 1978. The International Motorsports Hall of Fame historical center was opened in 1983.

In May 2006, Talladega began to re-surface the track and the cover. Development began on May 1 and went on until September 18. The principal race on the reemerged race track was a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race on October 7.

In December 2013, the ISC declared the evacuation of the 18,000-seat Allison Grandstand on the backstretch, diminishing the track's seating ability to 80,000. The 4,000-ft back immediately was renamed the "Alabama Gang Superstretch" on schedule for the 2014 Aaron's 499 held in the spring.

Jimmie Johnson is regarded as one of the most successful NASCAR drivers of all times. On the oval, he can easily be recognized with his iconic Number 48 car.

Jimmie Kenneth Johnson was born on September 17, 1975, in El Cajon, California.

He is regularly viewed as perhaps the best driver in NASCAR history. However, it isn't just his racecraft that makes him the best. Corey LaJoie (for whom Johnson upheld to get a seat in a Cup car), Chase Elliott, William Byron, Bubba Wallace, Alex Bowman, and Ryan Blaney, and veterans including Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, are among the long list of drivers and colleagues who have commended Johnson for his admiration and support.

<h2>Jimmie Johnson: Stats and Championships</h2>
His first tryst with speed came when he was four years old, riding minibikes. After that, Johnson kick-started his NASCAR career back in 2002.

Right from his rookie season, he established himself as a rising star and won the Rookie of the Year title. Additionally, he was the first rookie driver to lead the championship and to win twice at the same track in a season.

Johnson has accumulated several accolades over the course of his career. This includes seven Cup Series championships, two Daytona 500 wins, and four All-Star race wins. Jimmy has 81 Cup Series wins with his crew chief Chad Knaus.

Johnson also shares the record for the most championships with Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. Five of those seven championships came between 2006 to 2010.

Out of 610 Cup Series races over the span of 18 years, Johnson amassed incredible statistics. Namely, 83 career wins, 221 top-five finishes, 342 top-10 finishes, and 35 pole positions.

On September 9, 2020, Johnson reported that he would join Chip Ganassi Racing on a part-time premise in 2021 and 2022 to drive the street and road courses on the IndyCar circuit.

Theie arrangement leaves open the chance of running select NASCAR Cup Series occasions, as Ganassi right now handles two vehicles in NASCAR and could add a part-time vehicle for Johnson, remaining a four-vehicle Cup group.

At 44 years old, the California-born driver has a net worth of $160 million, as per <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/jimmie-johnson-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celebrity Net Worth</a>.
