The Chase for the Sprint Cup, originally known as "The Chase for the Championship" during its creation, and then "The Chase for the Nextel Cup" (from 2004 to 2007) is the championship system used in NASCAR's top division, the Sprint Cup Series. The Chase was first announced on January 21, 2004, and first used during the 2004 Nextel Cup season. The format used from 2004 to 2006 was modified slightly for the 2007 season. The 10-race Chase pits the 12 drivers with the highest points from the Sprint Cup season against each other. The driver with the most points after the final 10 races is declared the champion.The publicly stated purpose for the NASCAR Chase system was to make the NASCAR mid-season more competitive, and increase fan interest and television ratings. Prior to the Chase format, the Cup champion was often determined mathematically long before the end of the NASCAR season; a situation that still exists in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, which does not have a Chase system.
The venues that will host The Chase for the Sprint Cup are; Loudon - Sept 19th, Dover - Sept 26th, Kansas - Oct 3rd, Fontana - Oct 10th, Charlotte - Oct 16th, Martinsville - Oct 24th, Talladega - Oct 31st, Texas - Nov 3rd, Phoenix - Nov 14th, Homestead - Nov 21st
