The Camping World Series East has been a launching pad for many NASCAR careers.

Formerly known as the Busch East and the Busch North Series, the developmental series boasts Sprint Cup competitors like 1991 series champion Ricky Craven, Mike "Magic Shoes" McLaughlin, Martin Truex, Jr., 2007 champion Joey Logano, Jimmy Spencer, Steve Park and Kenny Schrader among the many talented drivers to post victories on their way to the premier racing group. The Camping World Series also runs a West series with a number of combined events during the season.

Andy Santerre dominated the series from 2002 to 2005 registering 21 victories and winning four-straight titles.

Jamie Aube, crew chief for Mayfield's Dustin Delaney, found success on the circuit registering nine victories and three straight championship from 1988-90.

The majority of the events are run at oval tracks ranging in distance from 1/3 of a mile to a mile in length with a pair of longer road courses added. The series normally are the featured show at tracks, but on occasion, like the Lenox 301 Weekend at Loudon, N.H., the East Series is a support class along with Whelen Asphalt Modifieds and the Nationwide Series (formerly known as the Busch Series), for the Sprint Cup event.
