The Nationwide Series is made up of drivers that are looking to eventually graduate to the Sprint Cup Series level. There are also a few Sprint Cup drivers that participate in the Nationwide Series, who usually end up winning the championship. There are some that say the Sprint Cup regulars should not move down a class to take money and championships away from the up and coming drivers.
