Nascar Nextel Cup Series 2004 var den 56:e upplagan av den främsta divisionen av professionell stockcarracing i USA sanktionerad av National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.
Säsongen bestod av 36 race och inleddes på Daytona International Speedway med uppvisningsloppen Budweiser Shootout 7 februari och Gatorade 125s 12 februari, vilket även var slutkval till den 46:e upplagan av Daytona 500. Säsongen avslutades 21 november på Homestead-Miami Speedway med Ford 400. Serien vanns av Kurt Busch i en Ford körandes för Roush Racing. Det var hans första och enda mästerskapstitel.[5]
Säsongen 2004 var den första med telecomföretaget Nextel Communications som huvudsponsor. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company med varumärket Winston som varit huvudspobsor i 33 år valde att avsluta samarbetet.[6] I juni 2003 meddelade Nascar att man skrivit ett tioårskontrakt med Nextel Communications som huvudsponsor.[7] 76 som varit bränsleleverantör ända sedan starten 1948 valde även dom att avsluta sitt samarbete med Nascar efter 2003 års säsong. Ny bränsleleverantör för 2004 blev Sunoco.[8]
Matt Kenseths mästerskapstitel 2003 med endast en vinst fick Nascar att introducera slutspelsformatet Chase for the Nextel Cup, eller kort "The Chase", för att hålla liv i förarmästerskapet till sista deltävling. Det nya formatet innebar att dom tio främsta förarna gick in i en slutspelsrunda med tio lopp kvar.[9]
