difference between Busch and Wnston cup?/Craftman trucks series specs

[SPTO]

the topic says it all. Oh and also the Craftman truck series does it seem to remind anyone of the old Nascar cars' bodies? At least it does to me.

Are you asking if there's a difference between the Winston Cup and the Busch series cars? I believe the engines are constructed differently.

Different wheelbase, different power ratings, different tire compounds.

Basically less power, sturdier cars.

The trucks are well...trucks. Different aerodynamics since they are much blockier, but at least they cover the truck bed. That could have been hell on raceday...imagine the drag created by a foot and a half tall tailgate. They don't have anything that you could even compare them to.
