Is there such as a NASCAR championship?

I know that for most sports there is a championship after so many games he won. football to go to the Superbowl, and so on. In Car Racing (NASCAR) is a championship for the drivers? If it exists, what do they gain and how many races have to win to get to this championship?

Yes, it is as determined: There are 36 races of the NASCAR season. A driver accumulates points in each race, depending on where ended, with 5 bonus points for leading a lap, and a driver gets 5 bonus points for leading the most laps. After the race 26, the top-12 drivers in points in the playoffs, that NASCAR is called "The Chase for the NEXTEL Cup." Points for the top-12 drivers will be reset to 5000, with drivers receive 10 points for each victory accumulated in the first 26 races (for example, a driver with 5 wins will have 5050 points and a driver with a victory will 5010 points). The point structure remains the same, and every time the driver has the most points after the last race (the 36th race) wins the championship. Not to confuse you, but is also its owner's championship. Works exactly the same way, but sometimes a car is more than one driver for all the season. His driver points would be independent, but his owner points can be combined. So it is possible that the driver championship could be different from The Car Championship / owner. The winner will receive the Cup (trophy) and a lot of money. Like that 6 up to 7 million dollars.
