The NASCAR Busch Series is a stock car racing series owned and operated by NASCAR. It is NASCAR's "minor league" circuit (often compared to Triple-A baseball), and is a proving ground for drivers who wish to step up to the organization's "big league" circuit, the Nextel Cup. Busch Series race are frequently held in the same venue as, and a day prior to, the Nextel Cup race scheduled for that weekend, encouraging fans to attend both events.

History

The Busch Series field following the pace car at Texas in April 2007

The series emerged from NASCAR's old Sportsman division, which was formed in 1950 as NASCAR's short track race division. It was NASCAR's third series. The sportsman cars were not current model cars, and could be modified more (but not as much as Modified series cars). ^[2] It became the Late Model Sportsman series in 1968, and soon featured races on larger tracks, such as Daytona International Speedway. Drivers used obsolete Grand National (now NEXTEL Cup) cars on larger tracks. Grand National cars were required to be less than three years old. Short track cars with relatively small 300 cubic inch V-8 motors were used. Drivers used smaller current year models featuring V6 motors. The cars looked like smaller versions of Cup cars. ^[2] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 458 pixels Full resolution (2844 × 1628 pixel, file size: 2. ...

The modern-day Busch Series was formed in 1982, when Anheuser-Busch sponsored a newly reformed late-model sportsman series with its Budweiser brand. The series switched sponsorship to Busch in 1984. It was renamed in 1986 to the Busch Grand National Series. The V6 based cars left the series at the end of the 1994 season, though some competitors still used the V6 engines at some short track events during the 1995 season. The cars gradually changed to cars just like Cup cars. Grand National was dropped from the series' title in 2003. Following the 2007 season, Anheuser-Busch, makers of the Busch brand of beer, has said they will not renew their contract with NASCAR, preferring to stay onboard with their Budweiser brand sponsorship of the Pole Award in NEXTEL Cup. The series will have a new sponsor in 2008. Rumor has it that it will be sponsored by a joint venture between UK mobile giant vodaphone and US stronghold Verizon Wireless. In order to eliminate the issue of sponsorship issues between Sprint PCS, the title sponsor of the premier Nextel (Sprint Cup) Verizon/Vodaphone will promote their VOIP services instead of their wireless services until a compromise can be reached.

The Busch Series Today

The cars used today in the Busch Series are slightly different versions of their Nextel Cup counterparts, the main differences being a slightly shorter wheelbase (105" instead of 110") and a larger spoiler (57" wide x 5.75" high instead of 55" x 4.5"). In the past, Busch 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, but the cars used in the series now are very similar.

Beginning in 2007, ESPN2 will be the exclusive carrier of all Busch Series races, replacing FOX, FX, TNT and NBC. Some sponsors have cricitised the new television deal, noting only six races will appear on broadcast network television (through a branding deal on ABC), and none in prime-time; in recent years, as many as nine races in the Busch Series have aired on network television, with two 2005 races ending up in prime-time television. Most of the races on ABC were chosen so ESPN2 could air major sporting events. ESPN2 debuted on October 1, 1993, as a sister station of ESPN.

Busch Series cars used fuel that contained lead. NASCAR conducted a three-race test of unleaded fuel in this series that began with the July 29, 2006 race at Gateway International Raceway. The fuel, Sunoco GT 260 Unleaded, will become mandatory in all series starting with the second weekend of the 2007 series, as Daytona will be the last race weekend with leaded fuel. Once the Car of Tomorrow is implemented in the Nextel Cup series, NASCAR will begin work on changing the cars run in the Busch Series. NASCAR has been approached by manufacturers about using differently shaped and named car models as the basis for the cars in the Busch Series when this change is made. NASCAR has been receptive to the idea.

Buschwhackers

Main article: Buschwhacker

Since the early days of the Busch Series, many Cup drivers have used their days off to drive in the Busch 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 Busch Series race, Dale Earnhardt, and the winner of the most races in Busch Series history, Mark Martin. In recent years, this practice has been termed "Buschwhacking" by those that criticize the practice, claiming that Cup drivers racing in the Busch Series takes away opportunities from the Busch Series regulars, drivers that are usually younger and less experienced. Many fans claim that without the Cup "superstars" and the large amount of fan interest they attract, the series would improve. A Buschwhacker is a term commonly used in NASCAR. It refers to any regular Nextel Cup driver that participates in a NASCAR Busch Series event. ... The NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series is NASCARs top racing series. ...
