What's different about the NASCAR Busch series?
466001
Busch series cars typically have less horsepower which is supposed to keep their speeds down, though on the superspeed ways where they have time to accelerate they can come close in top speed. There are some other minor details that are different. Namely the fuel tanks and the lenght of fuel line that a car can have etc. Oh, and since the cars are less expensive it makes it affordable for smaller owners to get involved. This also translates to smaller prize winning for each race.

The point system is flawed, but I can't think of a way to fix it. The current system does reward those teams that are the most consistent and I would think that there should be more emphasis on consistency rather than on wins. Matt Kenseth's championship in 2003 was highly talked about because he only visited victory lane once that season. Who cares? He was the most consistent driver that season and rightfully won the Cup. This year Kasey Kahne had a lot of wins, but he also had too many bad finishes to be a real threat. I guess I would have to vote to leave the point system the way it is.

Depends on what you need to inquire about...Here's a list of contacts from the site.\nhttp://www.nascar.com/guides/customer_service/nascar_contact.html

The only impact it might have is shortened races. Back during the last gas crisis (the one Jimmy Carter created), NASCAR shortened a few races. I beleive it was done more to impact public opinion than to actually help the situation. The gas tanks on cars in the NASCAR series are smaller than the gas tank on most cars.

I think something needs to be done, but I'm not sure where to begin.  If you don't run the whole Busch Series, is it fair to get points for those races that you are in?  For someone like Jr or Stewart, they're there to win, forget about points...\nAnd really, once you've made it to Cup, why mess around in Busch, unless you want the win, or extra practice, or you like that track??  \nMaybe you could have a rule where if you make a race, you are required to attempt to qualify for the next one, to try keep them in all season...\nI'm against changing anything in the points, like only giving points to Busch regulars, but yes, something needs to be done...\nDon't take away my Saturday race though, I like going to the track for the weekend and seeing both Series race...

Off the showroom floor they would be fine IF ONLY racing each other.It would turn a 3hr race into a 5 or 6 hr race, though. Tires, engine rpm&horsepower, brakes, transmission, suspension telemetry, weight and car balance would prevent showroom cars from performing at the level the Nextel/Busch cars do(eg.150mph LAP). The NNS/NBS cars would leave them so far behind you would think Kyle Petty was driving them. The stock cars look "the same" because of the evolution of racing.  In the spirit of competition more equal cars provide closer (more exciting) racing.

Sure...it's a small NASCAR fix, but at least it's a FIX! One week from the last race and I'm already Jonesin'!\n\nAnother long, cold, NASCARless winter...it sucks.\n\nWhat really made the year better was the fantasy racing. We used to do a deal called "Kafenatid". The guy that ran the site hung it up, but we made our own, with an Excel prog and "kafenatid's" rules (1 Ford, 1 Chevy, 1 Dodge and 3 Wildcards). You accumulate the points that the drivers earn. I kicked-ass again! ; ) All done by email and the deadline for picks is noon on race day. Not sure what to do about Toyota entering the arena...hate to validate them with their own slot.\n\nGITIT!\nrounder

CONCORD, N.C. -- On Tuesday NASCAR announced three rules changes for the Craftsman Truck Series that become effective Thursday, Sept. 19. \n\nThe front air dams of the Dodge Rams must now have a minimum ground clearance of four inches, reducing them from the previous measurement of four and one-quarter inches. Chevrolet Silverados and Ford F-150s must maintain a ground clearance of three and three-quarter inches. \n\nAll teams are permitted to utilize electronic oil and fuel pressure gauges as long as the gauges are wired separately and are completely independent of the truck's ignition system. The electronic gauge and spring rules are identical to rules used in the Winston Cup and Busch Series.

You can't change 'em all. Just be glad the narrow-minded people aren't a big part of our sport. Just let 'em go and enjoy those of us who are big Nascar fans.

Nfl has more people in stadiums.  Nascar has more television viewers which is impressive considering they are competing against 28 nfl teams.  They also average over 120,000 fans per track.  Nascar also racks up more $$$ than nfl.

If and when they switch to the Car of Tomorrow, Nascar will then be a lot like Iroc. I have mixed feelings about it though. On the one hand, it will even the playing field. On the other hand, It takes away the manufacturers rivalry.

Actually, this is not true. NASCAR is controlled by Hendrick, Roush, Yates, Childress, and possibly DEI. They all own at least 5-10% stock in ISC, and bought it when Bill France Jr. gave up control of it. Everybody should know this.

bigblue is correct...the busch cars are differant because of the horsepower between nextel cups (more horsepower in nextel cars). The nextel cars are bigger too.
