List of NASCAR teams
This is a list of NASCAR teams, a list of all teams that race in one of NASCAR's top three divisions (NEXTEL Cup, Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series). Full-time teams are teams that attempt to qualify for every race in their division (with very few exceptions, such as those due to hauler breakdowns or deaths). Part-time teams are teams that are active but do not attempt to qualify for every race.
