	The modern incarnation of this series began in 1982, with sponsorship by Anheuser-Busch Brewing's Budweiser brand. In 1984 it was renamed to the Busch Grand National Series. The Anheuser-Busch sponsorship expired at the end of 2007, and the series is now sponsored by Nationwide Insurance. Nationwide will also become NASCAR's official insurance agency replacing Allstate.

	The Nationwide Series is currently the only series of the top three to race outside the United States. The season is a few races shorter than that of the [[Sprint Cup]], and the prize money is significantly lower. However, over the last several years, a number of Sprint Cup drivers have run both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup series events each weekend, using the Nationwide race as a warm-up to the Cup event at the same facility. Detractors of this practice~~{{Who\|date=September 2009}}~~ believe this gives the Sprint Cup teams an unfair advantage, and that the presence of the Sprint Cup drivers squeezes out Nationwide Series competitors who would otherwise be able to qualify. These dual-series drivers have been labeled "[[Buschwhacker]]s", a play on words which combines the original series sponsor's name with the notion of being bushwhacked. In May 2007, NNS director Joe Balash confirmed that NASCAR is exploring options to deal with the Buschwhacker controversy. One of the most often-cited proposals would be for Sprint Cup drivers participating in the Nationwide Series to receive no points for their participation in a Nationwide race. According to NASCAR Chairman Brian France, all options, except an outright ban of Cup competitors, are still being considered.<ref name="toy-buschwackers">{{cite web \|url=http://www.theworldlink.com/articles/2007/12/09/sports/doc475a2b87dea14790115682.txt \|title=NASCAR toying with ideas for 'Buschwhackers'\|last=Fryer\|first=Jenna\|date=December 09, 2007\|work=AP Auto Racing Writer\|publisher=The World Link, Southwestern Oregon Publishing Company\|accessdate=2009-04-17}}</ref>		The Nationwide Series is currently the only series of the top three to race outside the United States.

	Beginning in 2010, the Nationwide cars will adapt somewhat to the current "[[Car of Tomorrow]]" (or COT) design used by Cup cars, with different bodies from the Sprint Cup Series. Some critics~~{{Who\|date=September 2009}}~~ hope that the discrepancy between the Nationwide and Sprint Cup cars will help solve the Buschwhacker problem by reducing the advantages of running both series.
