A few days ago, Natalie Decker teased a return to the NASCAR scene. Now, she has officially confirmed that she will run in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with RSS Racing. As per her contract, the 23-year-old will compete in five Xfinity Series races this season in the #23 car. It is also worth mentioning that Decker is splitting driving duties with Jason White and another driver. She will make her official debut on February 20 on the Daytona International Speedway road course. Meanwhile, White will start the RSS Racing season on February 13 at the season opener on the oval layout. “This just means the world to me,” Decker said [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM6eF2AHL4k]. “This has been a secret for a while now and I’m so excited that Red Street Records is gonna be a part of these five races that I’m doing in Xfinity – which is so crazy to say, that I’m moving up a level and we’re gonna be in the Xfinity Series.” WHY DID THE TEAM CHOOSE NATALIE DECKER? According to Red Street Records founder, Jay DeMarcus, her personality impressed him. The Rascal Flatts vocalist admired her drive and determination and felt that she would be a great role model. He confessed that the decision was a ‘no-brainer’ and he wanted to help Decker achieve her dreams and goals. Safe to say, Natalie Decker will be immensely determined in 2021. She endured a difficult 2020 Truck Series campaign in her 13 starts for Niece Motorsports; health issues plagued her season and even often forced her out of commission for a while. Some of these included complications relating to a late 2019 gallbladder removal surgery. It led to a hospital stay and forced her to miss the Truck race at Pocono Raceway. She also missed out on a handful of races due to other complications, including lack of medical clearance, as well as issues involving a high heart rate and high blood pressure. To cap it all off, she even tested positive for coronavirus. This forced her to miss a Trans-Am sports car doubleheader at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. Now, to make up for a forgettable year, she is determined to have an interruption-free 2021 Xfinity season.

<h1 style="text-align: center"><b>NASCAR Xfinity Series: Origin, Teams and More</b></h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>What is the NASCAR Xfinity Series?</strong></h2>
NASCAR's Xfinity Series needs no introduction. Touted as the second-tier division of the stock car racing organization, the tourney has been a long-time contributor to thrilling races. The minor league of NASCAR, the Xfinity Series is considered a stage for young drivers to venture up to the association's high-level hustling, the Cup Series. The Xfinity Series races are held as a feeder race on the day preceding a Cup Series occasion planned for the end of that week.

Currently, the series hosts races at the same locations as the NASCAR Cup Series which include Intermediate tracks, Superspeedways, Short Tracks, and Road Courses.

[caption id="attachment_1923435" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1923435 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-07-15T202651Z_201246696_MT1USATODAY21040681_RTRMADP_3_NASCAR-XFINITY-SERIES-AMBETTER-HEALTH-200.jpg" alt="DGM Racing NASCAR Xfinity Series" width="1920" height="1280" /> Jul 15, 2023; Loudon, New Hampshire, USA; NASCAR Xfinity Series driver John Hunter Nemechek (20) takes the lead during the Ambetter 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Xfinity Series Origin</strong></h2>
The Series' inaugural session took place in 1982 when long-time NASCAR sponsor Anheuser-Busch decided to back a newly reformed late-model sportsman series with its Budweiser brand. The first-ever race in the division was held at the Daytona International Speedway, and the iconic legend Dale Earnhardt was the race winner.

As to when the series actually emerged, we will have to go back to 1950 when the NASCAR's Sportsman Division, the fourth series after the Modified, Roadster and Strictly Stock division, was formed as the organization's short track race division.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-2830827 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/E4vejC3WEAgod-2.jpeg" alt="" width="2920" height="3156" />
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Why is it named Xfinity Series?</strong> </span></h2>
Today, what is known as the NASCAR Xfinity Series has had quite a few name changes over the decades. After its official debut in 1982 with Budweiser as a partner, in 1984, the series moved to being sponsored by Anheuser-Busch's Busch Beer brand instead. It is then that it came to be known as the Busch Grand National Series. However, the brewing company dropped the sponsorship in 2007 until subsequently, in 2008, insurance and financial services company Nationwide Insurance took the vacant spot and renamed the tourney the 'Nationwide Series'.
<p style="text-align: left">After the end of the insurance company's 7-year contract, in 2014, Comcast announced that it was going to serve as a sponsor for the series through its cable television and internet brand Xfinity, renaming it the <b>Xfinity Series.</b></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>What is the format of the Xfinity Series?</strong></h2>
The Playoff format was introduced in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2016. While it is similar to that of the Cup Series, the second-tier division uses a three-round playoff format instead of four, with 12 drivers in contention. At the end of the first two rounds, four drivers with the lowest season points of the 12 (and then 8) drivers, are eliminated. In the 2024 Xfinity Series season, there are a total of 33 races, consisting of seven playoff races and 26 regular season races.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Xfinity Series Teams</strong></h2>
Reportedly, more than 35 drivers participate in the NASCAR Xfinity Series every year, with three OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer), namely, Toyota, Ford and Chevrolet.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Xfinity Series Venue</strong></h2>
The first-ever championship race back in the Xfinity Series inaugural season in 1982 was held at the Martinsville Speedway on October 31. The speedway is a short track and is 0.526-mile in length. Currently, the Xfinity Series championship race is held at Phoenix Raceway at Avondale, Arizona. In 2024, it is scheduled to take place on November 9.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship</strong></h2>
1982 was a good year for NASCAR driver Jack Ingram. Nicknamed 'The Iron Man', Ingram was the first-ever championship title holder in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, then called the <b>Budweiser Late Model Sportsman Series. </b>As for the defending champion, Stewart-Haas Racing's Cole Custer clinched the championship in 2023, beating JR Motorsports' Justin Allgaier and Sam Mayer.

There are several drivers who have shown their dominance in the Xfinity Series. However, unlike the Cup Series where icons like Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson left others behind with seven championship wins each, NASCAR's second-division has had a more even field when it comes to title wins. Drivers like Tyler Reddick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Randy LaJoie, Larry Pearson, Jack Ingram and Sam Ard have each won two championships each, with the latest two-time champion being Tyler Reddick, in 2018 and 2019.

However, when it comes to Xfinity Series race wins, the balance is clearly tipped toward one side. With a staggering 102 race wins (with the latest victory coming at Atlanta in February, 2024) Kyle Busch sits atop leaving behind Mark Martin at 49 and Kevin Harvick at 47.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Cup Series Track Types</strong></h2>
The NASCAR Xfinity Series organizes its races on four different types of tracks, namely, Intermediate tracks, Superspeedways, Short Tracks and Road Courses.

When it comes to Intermediate tracks, it simply means <em>"any track greater than one mile in length, with the exception of both Daytona and Talladega" </em>according to the official NASCAR website and currently the Cup Series drivers compete on the following Intermediate tracks/Speedways :

The short tracks (less than 1 mile in length) that are part of NASCAR are:

</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Xfinity Series Cars</strong></h2>
Just like the NASCAR Cup Series, the organization's second division has also seen many changes when it comes to its racing vehicles. Among them was the Gen 4 car, that made its debut in the division in 1992 and stayed for almost two decades, till 2010. The Gen 4 car was evidently different from all the other cars used as the model removed all "stock" aspects from stock car racing and made it aerodynamically sensitive.

As per reports, the <em>"Generation 4 cars feature highly modified bodies with teams spending hours in the wind tunnel to gain aerodynamics.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_3-0" class="reference"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_4_(NASCAR)#cite_note-:1-3">[3]</a></sup> The bumpers, nose and tail are composed of molded fiberglass based on production counterparts".</em>

Another notable model was the 'Car of Tomorrow' that ran in the Xfinity Series since 2010-full time. This model flaunts prominent front splitters under the bumpers and larger rear wings. Apart from that, according to NASCAR, the car also has <em>"significant safety advancements and a return to symmetrical bodies". </em><em> </em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>How are Cup Series cars different from Xfinity Series cars?</strong></h2>
Just like the two divisions are distinctly different, even the vehicles used differ in various aspects. Unlike the Cup Series that currently uses the 'Next Gen' car, the Xfinity Series car uses a vehicle that five lug nuts holding the wheels in place, as opposed to the Cup Series car that uses wider tires with a single lug nut. Apart from that, the Cup Series cars have a power output of 670 hp as compared to the Xfinity's 650 hp.

When it comes to the gearbox, the Next Gen cars have a 5-speed sequential shifter in use, whereas Xfinity vehicles have a traditional H-Pattern 4-speed shifter.
<div class="mceTemp"></div>

[caption id="attachment_819539" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-819539 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-11-07T034119Z_856063720_MT1USATODAY17112225_RTRMADP_3_NASCAR-XFINITY-SERIES-CHAMPIONSHIP.jpg" alt="Daniel Hemric" width="1920" height="1280" /> Nov 6, 2021; Phoenix, AZ, USA; Xfinity Series driver Daniel Hemric (18) beats Xfinity Series driver Austin Cindric (22) to the finish line to win the Xfinity Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>How is the Xfinity Series different from the Cup Series?</strong></h2>
The NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series don't just differ in their names but also the way they operate among several other things. While NASCAR's top divisions has 39 races in a season. the Xfinity season has 33. As for the vehicles used for racing purposes, Xfinity uses the Chevrolet Camaro while the Cup Series makes use of the Chevrolet Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Toyota also has two different models for the Cup and Xfinity with the Camry and Supra respectively. Ford also manufactures two different types of Mustangs for the two series.

The two divisions also have a significant difference when it comes to the prize money. If we look at the 2024 Talladega Superspeedway race that took place on April 21, 2024, the Xfinity race had race winning prize of <b> $1,479,274</b>, while the Cup Series winning driver was slated to receive <b>$8,234,125. </b>

Similarly, the 2023 Cup series champion purse was reportedly a hefty amont of <b>$11,143,232. </b>As for the Xfinity Series champion purse, while no official figures have surfaced, it has been deemed to less than that of the Cup Series prize pool.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>NASCAR Xfinity Series Outside the United States of America</strong></h2>
As an organization, NASCAR has always pushed towards globalization by hosting its races in different places around the world. One such effort came in 2005 when the Xfinity Series (then called the Busch Series) hosted their first-ever Mexico City race. And like the true champion that Martin Truex Jr was, he grabbed the race win expertly.

And just two years later, retired Cup Series veteran Kevin Harvick claimed another overseas win when the Busch Series went to Canada. The driver even beat hometown star Patrick Carpentier to claim the series' first-ever race in the country
