2000 NASCAR Team Chart

Cup Series teams, drivers, and sponsors

The 2000 NASCAR Cup Series features 65 teams fielding 76 full-time and part-time car entries across 5 manufacturers (Chevrolet, Ford, Pontiac, ?Ford, ?Chevy). The complete team chart below lists every car number, driver, sponsor, manufacturer, and crew chief for the 2000 season.

The modern Cup Series is dominated by a small group of elite organizations. Hendrick Motorsports fields four Chevrolets for Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, William Byron, and Alex Bowman. Joe Gibbs Racing runs four Toyotas for Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell, Ty Gibbs, and Chase Briscoe. Team Penske counters with Fords for Joey Logano, Ryan Blaney, and Austin Cindric. RFK Racing fields Brad Keselowski, Chris Buescher, and Ryan Preece, while Trackhouse Racing rounds out the top tier with Daniel Suarez, Ross Chastain, and Shane van Gisbergen.

Beyond the big five, a second tier of full-time and part-time programs compete every weekend — Legacy Motor Club, 23XI Racing, Front Row Motorsports, Wood Brothers Racing, Spire Motorsports, and Kaulig Racing. NASCAR's charter system guarantees full-season entry for charter holders, while 'open' cars must qualify on speed each week. Alliances between teams (engine leases, technical partnerships) are common and often determine which organizations run up front.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many NASCAR Cup Series teams are there in 2000?

65 teams fielded 76 car entries in the 2000 NASCAR Cup Series, with 5 manufacturers (Chevrolet, Ford, Pontiac, ?Ford, ?Chevy) represented. Charter-holding organizations field the majority of the cars, while open teams round out the field each week.

Which NASCAR team has won the most races?

In the modern era, Hendrick Motorsports leads all active organizations with more than 300 combined Cup wins across drivers like Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Kyle Larson, along with a record number of Cup championships.

Who owns Hendrick Motorsports?

Hendrick Motorsports is owned by Rick Hendrick, a North Carolina auto dealer who founded the team in 1984 as All Star Racing. The organization fields four full-time Chevrolet Cup cars for Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, William Byron, and Alex Bowman, and is headquartered in Concord, NC alongside its massive engine and chassis programs.

Who owns Joe Gibbs Racing?

Joe Gibbs Racing is owned by Joe Gibbs, the three-time Super Bowl champion head coach of the Washington Redskins who founded the team in 1992.

JGR fields four Toyota Cup cars for Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell, Chase Briscoe, and Ty Gibbs out of its Huntersville, NC shop.

What is a NASCAR charter?

A NASCAR charter is a franchise-style guarantee that locks a team into every Cup Series race for the season, regardless of qualifying speed. NASCAR introduced the charter system in 2016 with 36 charters — teams without one must qualify on speed as an 'open' entry. Charters can be bought, sold, or leased between organizations, and their value has grown significantly as the sport has stabilized.

The top-tier Cup teams in 2000 include Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing, Team Penske, Richard Childress Racing, RFK Racing, Trackhouse Racing, 23XI Racing, and Stewart-Haas Racing. Together they field the lion's share of the 76 weekly entries.
