He beat a field of rookies who can barely afford to have a car on the track. That is like Mickey Mantle going to AAA farm league and hitting 90 home runs in a season. Am I the only one who thinks this way.

I am tired of preaching this I am glad you are feeling the same way I do. It doesn't stop or start with this jerk though. Every one of those rich kids needs to be limited on how many Busch races they can run. It should be at tracks they haven't tested at, only tracks that the cup run, and limit of 6 races. You race more than 6 it takes away one of your cup races best finishes.

You obviously know nothing about the Busch series, or you wouldn't be asking this question.
First of all, the Busch Series is not the minor leagues, it is Major League. It is the final exam for the up and comers, not the entrance exam. You can't gauge how well a developmental driver is going to do until they race the Cup veterans, otherwise they could just stay in the Busch Series until they retire.
Since the beginning of the Busch Series, in 1982, there have been what you guys call "Buschwhackers" Mark Martin is the most prolific of these with 48 wins, with only six wins as a "Busch regular." Darryl Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt also often raced in the Busch series, much to the thrill of those who were trying to make Cup.
ARCA, NASCAR Grand National Division, and NASCAR Elite Division are the minor leagues. If you want to see a field of rookies who can barely afford to have a car on the track, you can always watch those series. In ARCA, the only guy who stays there is Frank Kimmel. Kimmel is "like Mickey Mantle going to the AAA farm league and hitting 90 home runs."
Stop belittlling the careers of those who worked they way up the ladder to make it to the NBS. Those guys are not little leaguers.
To answer your question--it's called racing. It's what all of these drivers, Carl included, live to do.

Racers are racers and love to race. It's that simple! Guess ya'll really have a major problem when they go down and race on some local dirt track huh? Wanna talk about really sinking down. Oh never mind they draw HUGE crowds when they do that.
If you care, then I assume you like watching Busch races? Well, if it weren't for the big boys, Busch wouldn't be on TV every week, or even running at the major tracks. Not just an opinion. Go back a few years and remember how it was. Busch racing was a serious stepchild. They came to the fore front when more cup racers started racing weekly.
And that field of pooooor rookies. If they want to make it, they'd better learn to run with the Edwards and the Harvicks of the world. Or go back to go carts!

I agree. He is beating up on less experienced drivers in lower quality cars. He is happy because its no pressure. He can race for the win and ignore all the points stuff since its not his primary job. Its just for fun and some extra practice.
