I really don't think they will bring camaros or mustangs to the Busch series. Haven't heard anything about it... and they have a whole series JUST for racing Camaros, Mustangs, and other sports cars... So why would they want to race them in the Busch series? I'm glad they Busch series won't be using the stupid looking "Car of tomorrow" but I am highly doubtful that they will use Camaros.

Sorry to be a downer... but as a NASCAR fan, I seriously doubt it happening. They won't do anything logical or cool.

Thats funny and so true.

Its possible though. I can only hope. NASCAR does want to draw a distinct line between Busch and the Cup series. Too many Cup drivers have been coming in to dominate just so they could practice more on saturday. Switching it up like this would definitly draw that line. I can't wait to see.

acscamarochick06 - have you been to any races this year? I went to Pocono a few years ago, and am going to Michigan this year. I can't wait. Its a hellava party at MIS.

No I haven't actually been to one but I would love to go! My dad went to Bristol with my uncle and he LOVED it! My boyfriend's parents have been to Bristol and Talledega... They love it too!

If the COT is safer in Nextel Cup, how can you justify running a non-COT car in Busch?



The Busch COT will not look like the Cup COT -- it won't have a rear wing or a front splitter -- but it will have many of the safety features included on the Cup COT.



It's good to keep the cars different. If the cars were as similar as they are now, Cup drivers would continue to dominate the feeder series.



When the cars are almost identical, Cup drivers use the Busch races to prepare for Cup events.



No one wants to eliminate Cup drivers from Busch events entirely. They add interest and sell tickets. However, the feeder series also has to retain its objective as a developmental league.



One solution NASCAR officials are discussing for the future is to make the Busch Series car a COT but switch to models not used in Cup, i.e., to make the Busch Series a sports car league with Mustangs, Camaros, etc.



This would solve several problems. It would give the Busch Series its own identity, something the league desperately needs.



The series will have a new title sponsor next year, so why not give the new sponsor a new product to promote? This also would give the manufacturers another model to showcase in the second most popular racing series in the country.



If every team has to build new Busch cars anyway, make the new cars something unique this is the post from espn
