The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series was the 72nd season for NASCAR professional stock car racing in the United States and the 49th season for the modern era Cup Series. The season began at Daytona International Speedway with the Busch Clash,[1] the Bluegreen Vacations Duel qualifying races, and the 62nd running of the Daytona 500. The regular season ended with the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona on August 29. The NASCAR playoffs ended with the Season Finale 500, the first finale at Phoenix Raceway on November 8.
Before the season's restart at Darlington, Kyle Larson used a racial slur during iRacing's Monza Madness in April that got him fired from Chip Ganassi Racing,[2] and that made him miss the playoffs for the first time since 2015. Following the second Drydene 311 at Dover International Speedway, Kevin Harvick, driving for Stewart-Haas Racing, clinched the Regular Season Championship.[3] Chase Elliott, driving for Hendrick Motorsports, won the 2020 Cup Series Championship following the Season Finale 500 at Phoenix Raceway.[4] William Byron of Hendrick Motorsports and Cole Custer of Stewart-Haas Racing each won their first race in the Cup Series, and by virtue of making the playoffs, Custer also won the Rookie of the Year honors. Ford won the Manufacturers' Championship following the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway.[5]
