Cup Season 1

Welcome to the American Stockcar Union or ASCU. The first season roster will be based off of the 2024 NASCAR Cup series roster with a few major differences, but first some more details on how the League is done.
1. Charter system: The charter system will resemble the NASCAR Cup Series charter system where there are 36 full time spots.
2. Points and Playoffs: Point System and Playoffs will be conducted the same way NASCAR Cup Series does it
3. Champions: There will be two champions; The Overall Champion and the Playoff Champion.
Overall Champion: The driver with the most points (Non Playoff) at the end of the season.
Playoff Champion: The driver who wins the championship
Now we can get on with the roster.
