Gammon IS a cut of bacon, but normal bacon is usually from the flank, the back, and gammon is from the hind legs/rump.
EDIT - gammon is NOT thicker than bacon. The bacon rashers you buy have been sliced, stack lots of them together and don't cut them in the first place and you have a bacon joint. Same goes for gammon.

Having cut, sliced and jointed thousands of sides of bacon over a 7 year period I can tell you that there is no difference between gammon and bacon except from where it is cut from the side.
Gammon is in fact the Butt and top thigh of the leg and therefore the leanest meat. (for which you pay most).
Shoulder and Collar joints are made from the front quarter of the side and the meat is marbled (meat and fat) and therefore cheaper.
Bacon Rashers are Streaky (belly), Back, Collar (neck), Oyster(where the pelvic bone was), Best Back (where it joins the Gammon) and Gammon Steaks. Sometimes the Back and Streaky are cut together and called Middle.
The thing with bacon is its versatility it can be fried, grilled, boiled, roasted and barbequed without marring the flavour.

Bacon comes from the belly, back, or sides of a pig. Ham comes from the hind thigh. Gammon (from the Old French "gambon" - ham) comes from the hind hip joint area, so it's like a cross between bacon and ham.

Some drivers do race in both series but most don't. The Sprint series have the most experienced drivers. Also the cars are slightly different. The Sprint Cup cars are a newly designed car that were created for improved safety. The Nationwide Cars are an older design car that spins out real easy when they run beside another car. The Sprint Cup cars have more horsepower. More money is involved in the Sprint Cup series than the Nationwide series.
