1982 was the year that NASCAR grouped together its Sportsman races into a national touring series, named the Budweiser Late Model Sportsman Series.  The name would last for just two years, but is the series that would eventually become the Nationwide Series.

With Chrysler's brands out of competition and Ford winning just 2 Cup races, the 1982 season was General Motors' party with Buick dominating on the Cup side and Pontiac dominating the Sportsman side.
