Difference Between NASCAR SeriesTo be technical, there are many differences in the Sprint Cup cars and the Nationwide cars. First, the wheelbase is longer in a Cup car at 115 inches. Second, the Cup cars have more horsepower, mainly due to a bigger CFM carb. Third, the Nationwide cars weigh 3400 pounds compared to the Sprint Cup cars at 3500 pounds. And the Cup teams race the COT car, and as of now, the Nationwide teams don't yet. In 2009 the Nationwide cars will have their own version of the COT car. Also, the races are shorter for the Nationwide Series. Nationwide drivers/teams don't get paid near as much as their Cup counterparts.

The Nationwide Series is made up of drivers that are looking to eventually graduate to the next level, it is one level below the Cup Series. There are also a few Sprint Cup drivers that participate in the Nationwide Series, who usually end up winning the championship.
