The1974 NASCAR Winston Cup Series was the 26th season ofprofessionalstock car racing in theUnited States and the 3rd modern-era NASCAR Cup series. The season began on Sunday January 20 and ended on Sunday November 24. The first 15 races were shortened 10 percent due to the1973 oil crisis. Following criticism of the 1972 and 1973 points systems that placed emphasis on completed miles, NASCAR implemented a new points system, that took basic purse winnings, multiplied by number of starts, and divided by 1,000; it was designed to more directly reward winning races, a response toBenny Parsons' championship the previous year with just one win.Richard Petty was Winston Cup champion at the end of the season finishing 567.45 points ahead ofCale Yarborough, whileDavid Pearson finished a strong third in points despite only nineteen starts.Earl Ross was namedNASCAR Rookie of the Year.[1]
It was also the first year that all car had to run the 358 cubic inches (5,870 cc) engine after the transition for teams ended, a rule that continues to this day as of 2024.
1974 was the final season beforeRicky Rudd,Bill Elliott andDale Earnhardt joined the Winston Cup Grand National tour.
Begun on January 20, the Western 500 atRiverside International Raceway was stopped by rain and resumed on January 26.Cale Yarborough led 144 laps but was closely contested byBobby Allison, who led 33 laps. Allison faltered and finished a distant fifth, while Cale took the win withRichard Petty second.David Pearson finished third in the final eligible race for theWood Brothers 1971Mercury Cyclone; the car had won 19 times with Pearson andA. J. Foyt the previous two seasons.

Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, Buddy Baker, and David Pearson dueled over the first 170 laps. Petty then lost a lap on a cut tire but made it up afterTony Bettenhausen suffered engine failure. At Lap 300 final stops occurred and the Petty Enterprises team put on tires they'd kept after the Atlanta 500 in March, a softer compound for March's much cooler temperatures; the gamble worked as Petty stormed to a 21-second win. It was the eleventh race they'd run a small block Chrysler engine and their fourth win with it.
