Pony Cars Coming To Busch Series

SPEEDTV.com reports that NASCAR hopes to inject new life into its Busch Series by changing the types of cars raced, beginning as early as 2009, according to sources in the paddock.

If plans go according to schedule, the next-generation Busch Series cars will be Chevrolet Camaros, Dodge Challengers, Ford Mustangs and an as-yet-to-be named Toyota model, sources said. “That way, out top three divisions each have their own models," said a NASCAR source, who said the new models will be built on the old-style NASCAR Nextel Cup chassis, which are in plentiful supply as the Cup Car of Tomorrow will make the older Cup cars obsolete next year.
