should nascar set a limit on the amount of races cup guys race in other series events?
 
It doesn't really seem fair that Busch driver's have to compete with the likes of Mark Martin and Dale Jr.

But, this is a free country and if they want to race wherever they want. I say "Go for it"!
 
It'd kinda be like Jerry Rice competing in College Football dontcha think? But, I have no problem if the Cup drivers just want to get track time and preview what the track will be like.
 
The way I look at it is that the cups guys have got pretty much unlimited funds to go out and get as good of a car as they want. I don't agree with them being allowed to race in Busch, because that series *as is Trucks* are both stepping stones to WC. So if you have guys who have already made it to WC, it makes it even harder for the pple in Busch to make the move up, not to mention they take precious sponsorship dollars from worthy busch teams.

The problem is that I don't see how Nascar can just say NO to the guys who want to race in Busch. I would like to see a limit as to how many races they can run however...and thats as a total not per driver...
 
Most of these guys want to one day compete at the Cup level, so it gives them some experience racing with the top drivers.

The only thing I don't like is the resources the cup teams have to spend are more then most bush or truck teams can compete with. Hard to compare talent when all that money gets in the way.
 
Comparing talent is hard anyway, specially in a sport that is 85% car.

Those cars in WC are so good that just about anyone with as little experience as go cart racing can jump in and drive well.

First sentence is true.
2ND sentence isn't.
