NASCAR SERIES
|
|
From the Winston Cup Series to the Weekly Racing Series, NASCAR’s 13 divisions offer exhilarating action each and every week, from coast-to-coast and at all corners of the country. Whether it’s the door-to-door thunder of the Craftsman Trucks or the open-wheel fury of the Featherlite Modified Series, NASCAR racing offers something for everyone.

The premier circuit in stock-car racing, the NASCAR Winston Cup Series
features cars that produce about 750 horsepower and can reach speeds of
about 200 mph on some tracks. The 2001 NASCAR Winston Cup Series schedule
will feature 36 events at 23 tracks throughout the United States.
The NASCAR Busch Series features cars that weigh slightly less than their
NASCAR Winston Cup Series counterparts and produce about 200 less
horsepower, making them slower. Some NASCAR Busch Series drivers compete
just on their circuit, but others drive in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series as
well.
Founded in 1995, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series features pickup trucks
that produce about 710 horsepower and reach about 190 mph on some tracks. As
is the case with the NASCAR Busch Series, some NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
drivers use the circuit as a stepping stone, but others make a professional
home on the circuit.
