1949 NASCAR Cup Series
Champion: Red Byron
Driver standings
Bob Flock led on points, but the 1949 title went to Red Byron. Championships in this era were not decided by the points table alone (playoff/chase formats, dropped scores, or a different points system), so the standings order below is not the championship order.
