Sprint has the longest races, all the top teams and drivers etc...
Nationwide run different cars with less power and more grip, the races are shorter and it is (theoretically) the final step on the ladder to Cup. Some Cup teams run in it with some young prospects or they run their Cup drivers occasionally. |

Generally speaking, though, I would say the trucks offer the best races. When they aren't in caution mode, that is.

I prefer the race length of Trucks/Nationwide races.

If you remove the wing from the COT, you get a truck race.

The main problem with truck races is the rather large portions of caution periods that can occur.

I like the aesthetics of all three divisions. The Sprint Cup car has a more Gt/touring car look to it, and its more upright design makes it look marginally more like a road car (its certainly challenging to drive given the way it slides around like the cars did 20 years ago).
The Nationwide car looks great, imo they should keep the CoT in the Sprint Cup, but keep usuing the current Nationwide car with the safety parts from the CoT to diffentiate it from the Cup. The Trucks look quite good as well. |

If you remove all of the post 1950 technology from a current road car, you will get something which falls neatly into one of the three NASCAR series.
The tube frame and cages are identical in all. |

Personally I'd rather Sprint Cup then Nationwide Series then CTS.
The longer the races the better! |
