NASCAR’s extensive history spans all the way back to its founding in 1948. Over the course of those nearly 69 years, plenty of races — from the first starts on Daytona Beach sand to today’s modern speedways — have taken place.

In that time, a colorful blend of pioneers and superstars have etched their names into NASCAR’s record books. Some all-time milestones may never be repeated while still other categories await new benchmarks to be written.

Going inside the numbers and traditions of the sport at racing-reference.info reveals plenty of all-time records, statistics and figures in what is now the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. A sampling:

– All-time wins: 200 by Richard Petty. | See more
– All-time pole positions: 123 by Richard Petty.
