1983 - NASCAR Busch Grand National Series - Free Service 150 Race
![]() |
The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series is a stock car racing series owned and operated by NASCAR (the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing). It is known as the minor league of the premier Sprint Cup series. It serves as a stepping stone and development series for new drivers. Many time the the Sprint Cup Series and the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series are held at the same track on the same weekend. Cars are longer in wheelbase and body design with less horsepower than the Sprint Cup cars. It is not unusual for Sprint Cup drivers to participate in this serie, since many of the Sprint Cup Series drivers are owners in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series.
