What is winston cup?

The Winston Cup was the former name of the premier racing series in NASCAR, now known as the NASCAR Cup Series. The Winston Cup was named after R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's Winston brand, which sponsored the series from 1971 to 2003.

The Winston Cup Series featured some of the most iconic races in NASCAR, including the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600, and Southern 500. Drivers such as Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and Jeff Gordon achieved great success in the Winston Cup Series, winning multiple championships and solidifying their legacies in the sport.

In 2004, the series underwent a rebranding and was officially renamed the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. Since then, it has been known as the Sprint Cup Series, Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, and currently the NASCAR Cup Series. Despite the name changes, the series continues to attract top drivers and teams, thrilling fans with exciting races and intense competition.
