About Playoff Race

The NASCAR Cup Series Playoff, known as The Chase for the Cup, is the annual postseason that determines the NASCAR Cup Series champion. Beginning in 2026, NASCAR returned to its original Chase format, introduced in 2004, replacing the elimination-bracket structure used from 2014 through 2025. Under the current format, the top 16 drivers in the regular-season standings after 26 races qualify for the 10-race postseason. Points are reset once at the start of The Chase, and the driver who accumulates the most points across all 10 playoff races is crowned champion. Wins are worth 55 points, rewarding aggressive, race-winning performance throughout the postseason. The 2026 Chase begins in September and concludes at the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November.
