It's actually BusCh Series, for Busch Beer.

A Busch car has less hp, a shorter wheelbase, and a wider body (more drag). All that together makes it a little slower than a Winston Cup car. Despite what the above website says, I think Winston Cup cars are now making closer to 800hp and turning 8000+ RPM.

Ever actually driven a race car at speed around an oval with other cars? I assure you it's plenty of fun, if not more fun in same ways than road racing. The competition is more intense for sure. Most road races, you race someone for a few turns, get by, and then it's over until you catch the next guy 2-3 seconds ahead. On an oval, you've got someone trying to go around you all the time while you are trying to go around the drivers in front of you. It's even more amazing what some of these guys do on dirt ovals in 850+ hp 1300 pound sprint cars!!
BTW, road course racers run in circles too. They just make a few more turns to get there. :laugh

Thanks for the link...so the only difference is the power huh...
FYI, When I say running a circule......I mean they only make left turns:D
