Not sure about football but in mountain biking the world cup is a multiple race competition where points are awarded for each race and the competitor with the most points at the end is the winner. In contrast a world championship consists of a single race.
Scott Thwaites born February 12th 1990 won the under 23's British National Road Race Championships. The winner of the road race gets to wear the National Champions jersey so he or she can be identified.
If you discount the Olympics and the World Cycling Championships, arguably the "biggest" is the 165 mile French race -Paris Roubaix- which occurs in April. It is raced on narrow roads and over centuries-old cobbles in often times terrible spring weather conditions (rain, wind). The winner must be lucky and a strong, determined survivor who can avoid crashes and be willing to race under the most difficult of conditions against the world's best.
In 2003, Bobby Labonte was the last Winston Cup race winner and Matt Kenseth won the Winston Cup championship.
