The NASCAR Xfinity Series is the second-highest category of stock car racing. It comes after the NASCAR Cup Series and is a pro-level series. The Xfinity Series is one of the three NASCAR series, as such it has a lot of importance in the world of stock car racing. The Xfinity Series draws many parallels from the Cup Series including the cars and the venues. Like the NASCAR Cup Series, the Xfinity Series uses production cars modified for race use. The manufacturers of the Xfinity Series are the same as the Cup Series. The Toyota Supra, Chevrolet Camaro, and Ford Mustang are the cars that Xfinity Series racers drive.
The Xfinity Series features development driver programs from many of the top NASCAR Cup Series. Some NASCAR Cup Series drivers and former drivers have their teams in the Xfinity Series. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is among the drivers who run his team, JR Motorsports. The Cup Series and Xfinity Series follow a similar format for the championship title. However instead of top-16 drivers, the Xfinity Series allows only 12 drivers for the playoffs and chase for the title. The Cup Series drivers who are regulars in the upper series are prohibited from entering the playoffs and racing against Xfinity Series regular drivers.
