The NASCAR World Series is a worldwide stock car racing championship designed by NASCAR to be an outward-looking alternative to the Cup Series. It offered upward progression for drivers in the PEAK Mexico Series, Pinty's Series in Canada, and the Whelen Euro Series, as well as seeking to establish stock car racing as a worldwide alternative to Formula One. Top drivers from the Cup Series and World Series are then invited to an postseason race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the winner of which is crowned NASCAR Champion of the World.

Most races in the NASCAR World Series are run as "300"s, which can refer to either miles, kilometres or laps depending on the track involved. The exceptions to this are the Triple Crown events (which are run as "500"s) and the Dirt Classic, which is run in four heats of eight cars, which then feed into an 'A', 'B', 'C' and 'D' main to decide the overall finishing positions.

All events are restricted to 32 starters. Owing to the travel costs involved with the series, NASCAR also made the unusual choice to restrict entries - after all full-time teams had been confirmed, they decided between applications from part-time teams as opposed to holding additional qualifying sessions to decide who would make the show.

Championship Format

The World Series followed in the footsteps of the Cup Series by introducing a multi-stage playoff system to crown its Champion Driver. After a 19-round Regular Season, the top fifteen drivers (including all eligible race winners) advance to the playoffs. The remaining drivers then have one final chance at the winner-take-all Wildcard Race, the winner of which advances to the playoffs.

The lowest-scoring four drivers after every three races will be eliminated from Championship contention until at the 30th and final race of the season, the final four drivers will juke it out for the Championship. Any driver who has completed fewer than 10 Regular Season races is deemed ineligible for the playoffs.

One other point of difference between the World Series and the Cup Series is in the points system: unlike NASCAR's other series, points are only awarded to the top 20 cars at any given event.

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Rest
Points 25 22 20 18 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
