Currently, the Sprint Cup runs a thirty-six race season, with forty-three cars participating in each. Most of the races are run on mid length oval tracks, but there also two races on road courses and two "restrictor place races" at tracks where the cars need to wear restrictor plates on their engines to slow down their high speeds, with one of these tracks being Daytona, the other Talladega. Top racers currently include the previously mentioned Jeff Gordon, and Dale Earnhardt Jr., along with Gordon's teammate, Jimmie Johnson, and former Indy racer Tony Stewart. The 2007 season saw the debut of the Sprint Cup series' first foreign carmaker in many years with [[Toyota]], who had previously run the Camping World Truck Series (formerly Craftsman Truck Series) for a few years before joining the ranks of [[General Motors|Chevrolet]], [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], and [[Chrysler|Dodge]]. Additionally, NASCAR also began running the "Car of Tomorrow" that it had developed. This "Car of Tomorrow" has completely replaced the older car in the 2008 season (the older car running only in the Nationwide Series).

In 2012 the long overdue introduction of electronic fuel injection was implemented, bringing the technology in the engines slighty closer to modern standards. It is noted that a large majority of modern road car engines are more advanced than those which are in NASCAR.
