What is the NASCAR Nationwide Series?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What engine is used in Nascar Nationwide Series racing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NASCAR Sprint Cup Toyota Camry's use a Toyota designed 358ci OHV V8 engine. The design uses some features of other V8's in the series, most notably the high cam position in the block is similar to the Dodge V8, while the front mounted distributor and oil pump location mimics the Ford V8, while cylinder head and bore spacing resemble the Chevy V8. This engine is used only for NASCAR and not based on any Toyota production engine.

Does a Nascar driver use the same car in a night to night race?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The cars are always re-used, if possible. Say, for instance, Daytona 500. That winning car has to go right into the museum at Daytona speedway. Or, if it gets destroyed beyond repair, it may end up on the tour circuit. At the Local Chevy dealer we used to get Kevin Harvick's car for a weekend, once in a while, to pull in traffic. I usually had to get the damn thing started, and running, to get in in, and out of the trailer. Those were usually cars that were raced, bent up, and used for advertising. The motors are rarely re-used, without at least being gone through completely.
