The NASCAR Xfinity Series is a stock car racing series owned and operated by The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR).

It is promoted as NASCAR's "minor league" circuit, and is considered a proving ground for drivers who wish to step up to the organization's top level circuit, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

Xfinity Series races are frequently held in the same venue as, and a day prior to, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race scheduled for that weekend, encouraging fans to attend both events.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (formerly the NASCAR SuperTruck Series presented by Craftsman and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series) is a pickup truck racing series owned and operated by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, and is the only series in all of NASCAR to race modified production pickup trucks.

The series is one of three national divisions of NASCAR, ranking as the third tier behind the second-tier Xfinity Series and the top level Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

Camping World has served as the title sponsor since 2009; it replaced Craftsman, who served in that role from 1996 through 2008.

Formula One (also Formula 1 or F1 and officially the FIA Formula One World Championship) is the highest class of single-seat auto racing that is sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).

The FIA Formula One World Championship has been the premier form of racing since the inaugural season in 1950, although other Formula One races were regularly held until 1983.

The "formula", designated in the name, refers to a set of rules, to which all participants' cars must conform.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (often shortened to the Cup Series) is the top racing series of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR).

It is named for the current sponsor, Monster Energy, but has been known by other names in the past.

The series began in 1949 as the Strictly Stock Series, and from 1950 to 1970 it was known as the Grand National Series.

In 1971, when the series began leasing its naming rights to the R. J.

Reynolds Tobacco Company, it was referred to as the Winston Cup Series.

A similar deal was made with Nextel in 2003, and it became the Nextel Cup Series (2004–2007).

Sprint acquired Nextel in 2005, and in 2008 the series was renamed the Sprint Cup Series, which lasted until 2016.

In December 2016, it was announced that Monster Energy would become the new title sponsor starting in 2017.
