Today, NASCAR claims 75 million fans – a 19 percent jump since 1999 – and is the fastest-growing professional sport in the United States. Seventeen of the 20 largest sporting events in the country each year – in terms of fan attendance – are NASCAR Nextel Cup races, and a NASCAR weekend has become a huge draw thanks to its gregarious fans and party atmosphere. Many fans camp out at the track for the entire weekend or longer, forming a makeshift city that often dwarfs the size of the city where the race is being held.

NASCAR consists of three main national touring series:

• The Nextel Cup Series
• The Busch Series
• The Craftsman Truck Series

The Nextel Cup is stock-car racing’s premier series, and the Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series have traditionally been considered the sport’s AAA and AA, respectively. But both the Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series have seen a growth in recent years in the number of Nextel Cup drivers who also compete in their races.

NASCAR also sanctions many regional racing series’ throughout the United States, such as:

The AutoZone Elite Division
The Whelen Modified Tour
The Grand National Division

Many local racetracks crown a track champion through races held under the banner of NASCAR’s Dodge Weekly Series.
