Here is some Busch Series trivia:
The NASCAR Busch Series is a stock car racing series owned and operated by NASCAR. It is NASCAR’s second division (often compared to Triple-A baseball), and is a proving ground for drivers who wish to step up to the organization’s top level, the Nextel Cup.
The series emerged from NASCAR’s old Sportsman division, which was formed in 1950 as NASCAR’s short track race division. It became the Late Model Sportsman series in 1968, and soon featured races on larger tracks, such as Daytona International Speedway.
The modern-day Busch Series was formed in 1982, when Anheuser-Busch sponsored a newly reformed late-model sportsman series with its Budweiser brand. It switched sponsorship to the Busch brand in 1984, and in 1986, was renamed from the Sportsman series to the Busch Grand National Series. Grand National was dropped from the series’ title in 2003.

Since the early days of the Busch Series, many Cup drivers have used their days off to drive in the Busch Series. This can be for any number of reasons, most prominent or often claimed is to gain more “seat time”, or to familiarize themselves with the track. Examples of this would be the first ever winner of a Busch Series race, Dale Earnhardt, and the winner of the most races in Busch Series history, Mark Martin. In recent years, this practice has been termed “Buschwhacking” by those that criticize the practice, claiming that Cup drivers racing in the Busch Series takes away opportunities from the Busch Series regulars, drivers that are usually younger and less experienced. Proponents of this practice, however, claim that without the Cup “superstars” and the large amount of fan interest they attract, the series would cease to exist.
