NASCAR Cup Series
The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series was special as it was the 50th edition of the event to take place in the modern era, and it’s Kyle Larson who will be looking to defend his crown going into the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series this year.

Past NASCAR Cup Series Winners
| Year | Driver |
|---|---|
| 2021 | Kyle Larson |
| 2020 | Chase Elliott |
| 2019 | Kyle Busch |
| 2018 | Joey Logano |
| 2017 | Martin Truex Jr. |

| 2013 | Jimmie Johnson |
| 2012 | Brad Keselowski |
| 2011 | Tony Stewart |
| 2010 | Jimmie Johnson |
| 2009 | Jimmie Johnson |
Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson are the two drivers who sport the most titles in the past 11 years, but Johnson is the only one in recent times to retain the title. Kyle Larson opened as the favorite at the start of the 2022 season, but can he do it?
Female NASCAR Drivers
The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series won’t feature any female drivers, but there have been a few over the years who have made a significant impression. Danica Patrick may be the most notable with 191 starts, one pole, and seven top-ten finishes, but we’ve yet to see a female record a win. There is no sign of anyone ready to break into the series at this stage, but the route is open for anyone who’s good enough to compete.
