What is NASCAR doing to the Busch series? Their letting NEXTEL drivers in and their taking the spotlight from letting Busch only drivers from trying to get a sponser or a nextel ride? I think nextel drivers should only be allowed 15 race. Do you agree or if not whats you idea or take

Snake, you make me so happy I'm over here in Phoenix and I did not have to listen to the 3 losers in the booth..Rusty has had love affair with Jeffy for a long time this yr.. Don't tell me they were talking about the chase during a busch race..Geez..I think if you are a past Cup Champion, or when it gets down to the Chase in Cup those guys should not be driving in the Busch/Nationwide series. Or, no Busch/Nationwide points for the Cup guys, I heard some people over here talking about picking certain Busch/Nationwide races where the cup guys can't run in.. This Buschwacking crap has got to stop....It definitely did not help the crowd here today with the cup guys running the race track was partically empty except seats right there in front straightaway...Heck next to my Uncles motorhome there was a huge poker thing going on.. Yeah, somethings got to give with this series...

I like the series. I think they're trying to bring in revenue by having Nextel drivers race. If they limit the # of races, they could lose money. A better idea may be to let certain NEXTEL drivers drive in certain races and spread it out over the season and tracks they race at, that way fans going to the Busch races would get the $$ worth.

Its kinda a catch 22. You have the cup guys racing in the Busch races and it keeps the young and up and comming drivers from getting seat time. But the same time if there wasnt the cup drivers doing the Busch race too there would have been a few races that didnt have 43 drivers. There were only 36 or 37 drivers. The cup guys made the Busch race a full driver race. I dont know what the solution is but they need to put something in stone and go by it.

No way in this world the cup guys should stink up the Busch series whether they bring $$$$$$ that in Gloria or not. This series did just fine for years with Martin being the only cup bully and now you have to wade through the top 9 or 10 bunch of cup drivers before you can even find a Busch regular with his under funded team and his buds from back home trying to pull the sub 12 sec pit stops off.
The Busch series is for the growth with in NA$CAR not a heat race for the cup drivers. But you freaking newbies will be the first to complain that the open wheeler guys and foreigners are coming to our sport WHY????? Because you and France took away our minor league.
Don't get me started on this crap and how ignorant people are that think a Cup driver is whats keeping the series going grow up you freaking goofballs.

as a fan of a true sport -busch races should be left to those who cant get the major sponser ,or the money ,it was suppose to be where nascar would find its next great star but it has become a money game,and the smaller teams can not compete,in the nextal cup races ,the price is to high,so the only ones that should be able to drive in the busch races ,are owner -drivers because they are what it was from for,with no limit to how many races they run

I think nascar should adopt baseballs minor league major league philosophy. there should be no way a cup driver race in both races on any given weekend. u race in Busch race no cup race til following weekend. I know cup drivers bring in $ on Saturday races but, it is time the new, young(sometimes not so young) and upcoming drivers get the spotlight on Saturdays. I believe it would help with development of new drivers and actually make the cup series more competitive!

Cup drivers bring the $$$$ from ticket sales to the Busch series. Do you mean only allow 15 Cup drivers? or only 15 races per Cup driver? In my opinion, the Cup drivers should be allowed to race if they want to, just not counted in the over points for the Busch Championship. Let the Busch drivers win in their own series.

I have answered this one before, if your in the Busch series fine that means you graduated from ARCA, when you graduate form the Busch series and go in the the cup series you should not be able to race in the Busch series, you already have the experience, let the Busch boys race and have there own championship, Carl Edwards ran away with it why?? That's not fair, if you graduate from High School and go to college would you go back to High School? No so cup drivers should not be allowed to be in the Busch series!!!!!!!!

It raises the level of competition for the rookie drivers. It actually "breeds" a higher level of competition for drivers that enter into the "Nextel Cup" races (or whatever they wanna call it). By the time the top drivers are competing for a championship, all the competition is channeled down to a level of skill dictated by hundreths of a second. Drivers who are going to be racing in NASCARs championship series need to be "brought up" into the sport, to keep up and surpass the racing legends who are currently in the sport today, or the legendary drivers who generated the passion for NASCAR racing.
