1952 NASCAR Cup Series

Champion: Tim Flock

Driver standings

Herb Thomas led on points, but the 1952 title went to Tim Flock. 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.
