Teams and drivers

[edit]Limited schedule
[edit]Notes:
- If under "team", the owner's name is listed and in italics, that means the name of the race team that fielded the car is unknown.
- At Races 17 and 19 (Watkins Glen and Nazareth) they were combination races with Nascar Busch North Series: John Preston, Jamie Aube, Mike Olsen, Dennis Demers, Bryan Wall and Dale Quarterley were competing for Nascar Busch North Series championship and for that reason they did not scored points for Busch Series in that races.

Rookie of the Year
[edit]Kevin Harvick tied for a record three wins and beat out pre-season favorite Ron Hornaday Jr. for the Rookie of the Year award in 2000, despite missing one race. Hornaday, the only rookie candidate to compete in every race, had two wins and a fifth-place points finish. Jimmie Johnson drove for a brand-new team and had a tenth-place points finish, while Jay Sauter had eight top-ten finishes. Michael Ritch struggled with qualifying problems all year, while P. J. Jones, Anthony Lazzaro, Mike Borkowski, and Dave Steele were all open-wheel drivers who were released from their rides early in the season. Mike Stefanik was the only other rookie candidate.
