OVERVIEW

The NASCAR Camping World Series is made up of the NASCAR Camping World East Series and the Camping World West Series. This division represents NASCAR’s top

regional touring series, where competitors will refine their skills before making the jump to one of NASCAR’s three national series. Both series compete in either 110-inch or 105-inch wheelbase cars that are similar to those of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and the

NASCAR Nationwide Series. Attendance averages are about 5,000 – 8,000 spectators at short tracks and 400-600 people in the garage area.

The NASCAR Camping World West Series was born when NASCAR came to the West Coast and began sanctioning the Pacific Coast Late Model circuit in 1954. It has been known as the Pacific Coast Late Model circuit, Grand National West, NASCAR Winston West Series, and the NASCAR AutoZone West Series.

The present format of the Camping World East Series began in 1987 when Anheuser-Busch and NASCAR returned to the Northeast with a revised version of the NASCAR North Tour that ran between 1979 and 1985. In 2003, this series combined rules with the Camping World West Series to form the Grand National Division. NASCAR has now welcomed Camping World as the new series sponsor on both the east and the west.

DRIVER HIGHLIGHTS

Many drivers competing in the NASCAR Camping World Series have moved up through the ranks to NASCAR’s three national series including: Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex, Jr., Steve Park, Brendan Gaughan, Ricky Craven, Ron Hornaday, Joey Logano David Gilliland and Chad Little.

"The NASCAR Camping World Series has always been a good mix of tracks and a good mix of drivers. You have to be able to fight on the short tracks and tackle the big tracks. It's an awesome series. My Dad won championships and I came close a couple of times. I still look forward to running in the series when we're on the West Coast."

-Ron Hornaday, Jr.
