The series emerged from NASCAR's old Sportsman division, which was formed in 1950 as NASCAR's short track race division. In North American Auto racing, particularly with regard to NASCAR, a short track is a Racetrack of less than one mile (1 It was NASCAR's fourth series (after the Modified and Roadster series in 1948 and Strictly Stock in 1949). A roadster, also known as a spyder or spider, is a two-seater car traditionally without a roof (or with a detachable roof and no side or rear windows The sportsman cars were not current model cars, and could be modified more (but not as much as Modified series cars). The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour (NWMT (previously the NASCAR Winston Modified Tour and NASCAR Featherlite Modified Series) is a Stock car racing series [1] It became the Late Model Sportsman series in 1968, and soon featured races on larger tracks, such as Daytona International Speedway. Daytona International Speedway is a Superspeedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Drivers used obsolete Grand National (now Sprint Cup) cars on larger tracks, but by the inception of the touring format in 1982, the series used older compact cars. Short track cars with relatively small 300 cubic inch V-8 motors were used. A cubic inch (plural cubic inches) is a non- SI unit of Volume, equal to the volume of a Cube with sides of one Inch. A V8 engine is a V engine with eight cylinders mounted on the Crankcase in two banks of four cylinders in most cases set at a right angle to each other Drivers used smaller current year models featuring V6 motors.

The modern-day Nationwide Series was formed in 1982, when Anheuser-Busch sponsored a newly reformed late-model sportsman series with its Budweiser brand. Anheuser-Busch Companies Inc ( (ˈænhаɪzər bʊʃ is the largest Brewing company in the United States with a 48 Budweiser is an American-style lager and is one of the most popular beers in the United States. The series switched sponsorship to Busch in 1984. It was renamed in 1986 to the Busch Grand National Series.

By that time, teams were switching from the General Motors 1971-77 X-Body compact cars, with a 311-cubic inch engines. Later, teams were using General Motors 1982-87 G-body cars. Ford teams used the Thunderbird cars consistently.

In 1989, NASCAR changed rules requiring cars to use current body styles, similar to the Winston Cup cars. However, the cars still used V6 engines, which were legal until 1995. The cars gradually changed to cars just like Cup cars. Grand National was dropped from the series' title in 2003 as part of NASCAR's brand identity (the Grand National name was now used for the Busch East and Winston West series as part of a nationwide standardization of rules for NASCAR's regional racing). Following the 2007 season, Anheuser-Busch, makers of the Busch brand of beer, said they would not renew their contract with NASCAR.

The Nationwide insurance company sponsorship is a seven-year contract, which coincides with NASCAR's current broadcast contract with ABC/ESPN. The Nationwide sponsorship does not include the banking and mortgage departments of Nationwide. The sponsorship reportedly carried a $10 million commitment for 2008, with 6% annual escalations thereafter[3]. In addition to the direct cost of sponsorship, Nationwide has made an additional commitment of between $4 million and $5 million in advertisement buys on ESPN.

Buschwhackers

Main article: Buschwhacker

Since the early days of the Nationwide Series, many Cup drivers have used their days off to drive in the Nationwide Series. A Buschwhacker is a term for NASCAR drivers who are regulars in the Sprint Cup Series but who also compete in races in the Nationwide Series. This can be for any number of reasons, most prominent or often claimed is to gain more "seat time", or to familiarize themselves with the track. Examples of this would be the first ever winner of a Nationwide Series race, Dale Earnhardt, and the winner of the most races in Nationwide Series history, Mark Martin. Ralph Dale Earnhardt Sr ( April 29, 1951 &ndash February 18, 2001) was an American race car driver best known for his career driving Mark Martin may refer to Mark Martin (racecar driver (b 1959 American racecar driver Mark Martin (cartoonist, American cartoonist

In recent years, this practice had been termed "Buschwhacking" by those who criticize it. The colloquialism originated as a pun made from the words "Busch" and "bushwhacker" during the days when Anheuser-Busch was the main sponsor of the series, but it has gradually fallen out of use since Nationwide took over as title sponsor. A pun (or paronomasia) is a Phrase that deliberately exploits confusion between similar-sounding Words for humorous or Rhetorical Bushwhacking was a form of guerrilla warfare during the American Civil War that was particularly prevalent in rural areas where there were sharp divisions between Critics claim that Sprint Cup drivers racing in the Nationwide Series takes away opportunities from the Nationwide Series regulars, usually younger and less experienced drivers. In the other hand, many fans claim that without the Sprint Cup stars and the large amount of fan interest they attract, the Nationwide Series would not improve. Many Nationwide Series drivers, however, have welcomed the Cup drivers because it gives them the opportunity to drive with more seasoned veterans.

In 2007, the Sprint Cup Series began racing with the Car of Tomorrow, a radically new specification different from the Nationwide Series. The Car of Tomorrow (CoT, occasionally called the "Car of Today" Thus far, this has not changed things much. In 2007, six out of the top ten drivers in the final point standings were Cup regulars, with Jason Leffler being the only non-Cup driver in that group to win a race in '07. Jason Leffler (born September 16, 1975) is a NASCAR driver from Long Beach California. This number decreased from 2006 when 8 out of 10 drivers were Cup regulars. The decreased number is attributed to Cup regulars running only partial schedules, allowing for more Nationwide regulars to reach the top ten in points. In 2009, NASCAR will introduce a COT for the Nationwide Series, with major differences being the style of the cars (a rumored return to pony cars such as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Challenger) and a suspension package used in the old cars, according to NNS director Joe Balash. The Ford Mustang sports coupe, manufactured by the Ford Motor Company, was initially based on the Ford Falcon The Chevrolet Camaro is a " Pony car " made in North America by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors. Dodge Challenger is the name of three different Automobile models marketed by the Dodge division of Chrysler LLC since 1970 The old name "Buschwhackers" has been replaced with the term, "Claim Jumpers".

The cars

Comparison with a Sprint Cup Car

The cars used today in the Nationwide Series are slightly different versions of their Sprint Cup Series counterparts, the main differences being a slightly shorter wheelbase (105" instead of 110") and a larger spoiler (57" wide x 5. In both road and rail Vehicles the wheelbase is the distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels A spoiler is an automotive aerodynamic device whose intended design function is to 'spoil' unfavorable air movement across a body of a vehicle in motion 75" high instead of 55" x 4. 5"). In the past, Nationwide Series competitors could use makes of cars not used in the Cup series, as well as V-6 engines instead of Cup's V-8s.

In 1995, changes were made. The series switched to V-8s with a compression ration of 9:1 (as opposed to 12:1 for Cup at the time). The vehicle weight with driver was set at 3,400 pounds (as opposed to 3,300 for Cup). The body style changes, as well as the introduction of V-8s, made the two series' cars increasingly similar.

While the Nationwide Series car is lighter, less powerful, and has a shorter wheelbase; superficially, they can appear identical to the untrained eye. The suspensions, brake systems, transmissions, are identical between each series. Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, Shock absorbers and linkages that connects a Vehicle to its Wheels Suspension The Car of Tomorrow does eliminate some of these similarities. The Car of Tomorrow (CoT, occasionally called the "Car of Today" The Car of Tomorrow is taller and wider than the current generation vehicles in the Nationwide Series and utilizes a rear wing and front splitter opposed to a rear spoiler and front valance. The Car of Tomorrow has also been setting pole speeds slower than the Nationwide Series cars at companion races. The term " pole position " comes from the Horse racing term where the number one starter starts on the inside next to the inside pole [4]

Previously, Nationwide Series cars used fuel that contained lead. Tetra-ethyl lead, abbreviated TEL, is an organometallic compound with the formula ( CH3CH2)4 Pb. NASCAR conducted a three-race test of unleaded fuel in this series that began with the July 29, 2006 race at Gateway International Raceway. Gateway International Raceway is a race track in Madison Illinois, USA just minutes from Downtown St The fuel, Sunoco GT 260 Unleaded, became mandatory in all series starting with the second weekend of the 2007 series, as Daytona was the last race weekend with leaded fuel. Sunoco ( is an American Petroleum and Petrochemical manufacturer headquartered in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, formerly known as Sun Company

Now that the Car of Tomorrow is fully implemented in the Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR has begun working on changing the cars run in the Nationwide Series. NASCAR has been approached by manufacturers about using differently shaped and named car models as the basis for the cars in the Nationwide Series when this change is made. NASCAR has been receptive to the idea as a way to differentiate the cars from those used in the Sprint Cup.
