1974 NASCAR Cup Series
Champion: Richard Petty
Driver standings
Cale Yarborough led on points, but the 1974 title went to Richard Petty. 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.
