Any Nascar fans,among you Guys...

Not too familiar with this kind of racing.

Was watching qualifications,on T.V.this afternoon;Boy,do these cars seem heavy,and hard to control,in a curve...

Busch is an Anheiser Busch beer brand that is the series sponsor.
Busch Series is the second teir racing division below Nextel Cup series. These cars ar similar to Nextel but less HP and lighter weight.
Most often 1/2 of the Busch race teams are driven by Nextel Cup drivers.
Current Busch points leader is Carl Edwards (also a Nextel driver).
Most Nextel Cup drivers ran in the Busch series before moving up to the senior division.

The races which are not at the same track as the Cup races often have a higher percentage of younger, developing drivers.
It's a feeder series for the main series, with the twist that the drivers form the main series can also drive in it.

If matrix (Marco) and OhioRacer (Carmen) see this, it could be the F1/Nascar wars all over again.

I think the Andretti you see in that series is John. Mario's nephew. He never seems to have any luck. He is the nicest Andretti I have seen. Of course nice guys finish last :-)

NASCAR SUCKS!
-no Hudson Hornets, no Dodge hemis, no Mercury Torinos
-only big heavy bumper cars madly battering each other into the wall!
Where's Marco?
