Series Overviews<br />

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS)<br />

• Premier NASCAR racing series with 36 races across the United States. Sprint Cup cars are commonly<br />

referred to as “Cup cars” and are heavier and more powerful than the other national NASCAR series vehicles.<br />

NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS)<br />

• Second-highest level of NASCAR racing with 35 races across the United States and Canada. Featuring a<br />

balance of young, up-and-coming drivers, seasoned veterans and Cup stars, races are often held the<br />

day/night prior to the Sprint Cup Series race, though there are a handful of stand-alone NNS races.<br />

Nationwide races are shorter and the cars are lighter and have less horsepower than those in the Sprint Cup<br />

Series.<br />

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS)<br />

• Third-highest level of NASCAR racing, features 25 races across the United States and includes a mix of<br />

young, up-and-coming drivers, seasoned veterans and a handful of Cup stars. The trucks are lighter and have<br />

less horsepower than the Cup and Nationwide cars, and the races are typically shorter in distance compared<br />

to Cup and Nationwide Series races.<br />

GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series Presented by <strong>Crown</strong> <strong>Royal</strong> Cask No. 16<br />

• Sports car series with 12 races in the United States and Canada. Races are run on road courses and feature<br />

two classes: Daytona Prototype (DP) and Grand Touring (GT). GRAND-AM racing is populated by a variation<br />

of international sports car, stock car and open wheel drivers. Races are measured by distance or they run for<br />

an established period of time (e.g. Rolex 24 at Daytona).<br />
