Eh, NASCAR has never defined the Xfinity series as a development series. Cup guys running on Saturdays give the fans a chance to see the best in the business at at least half the price of a Cup event, and gave those who watched the entire weekend to see extra laps from the best. Babbling "fans" got caught up in the romantic notion that the next great thing was getting choked out, and decided to babble enough for NASCAR to take the Cup guys out. Now, the Cup guys are essentially out, sponsorship is continuing to dry up, and what will you be left with? Ever been to a Minor League stadium when the guys from the big show put on an exhibition with the AAA guys? They pack the house. In NASCAR, we get pissed when the Major Leagues battle the Minor League guys. We will regret this someday....probably sooner than we expected. It is dumb as hell, and embarrassing.
