NASCAR Race Results, Schedules & Points

What does NASCAR Race Results, Schedules & Points do?

NASCAR Race Results, Schedules & Points returns season data for the NASCAR Cup, O'Reilly Auto Parts (Xfinity) and Craftsman Truck series. Choose Races for one row per race with the date, track, winner, pole winner, cautions, lead changes and average speed, or Results for one row per driver per completed race with finishing and starting position, laps led, points, playoff points, team and finishing status. Past seasons are available too, no login needed.

Why use NASCAR Race Results, Schedules & Points?

• All three national series in one Actor.
• Schedule and results from the same source.
• Full finishing order with laps led and points.
• Cautions, lead changes and pole winner per race.
• Any season, free of login and API keys.

What makes this different

Most NASCAR data is locked in slow race-by-race web pages or paid stats feeds. This Actor returns whole seasons as flat tables, with the finishing order, points and race facts side by side so it drops straight into a model or a sheet.

How it works

1. Your input — choose the series, season and Races or Results.
2. The Actor collects it — the Actor reads the season schedule and each completed race.
3. Your output — you get one row per race or per driver finish.

Tips for Best Results

• Default is 5 results for a fast test. Set the max to 0 to return everything available.

Known Limitations

• Race times are published in Eastern time without a zone; raceDateUtc is an approximation and the original text is in raceDate.
• Results are fetched newest race first, one request per race, so a whole season of results takes longer than a schedule.
• Prize money and lap-by-lap timing are not included.
• A season has data only once its schedule is published.

Integrations

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or from a webhook. Send results straight to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack or your own database with Apify's built-in integrations.

Export Formats

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS from the Output tab or the API.
