How many winless seasons

[VaDirt]

Reading this week's NSSN, comlumnist Keith Waltz has an interesting idea. Not sure how well it would work, but it sure would seemingly shrink the Cup filed quite a bit...

"There should be a statute of limitations on failing to win in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Each driver should have have five years, or 180 races, to win a Cup race. If they don't, they drop back to the Nationwide Series where they must win before they become eligible for another Cup ride. This would force car owners to give more promising young drivers an opportunity instead of recycling the same mid-pack runners."

Thoughts?

Good idea, but since the sport is more sponsor driven than owner driven, I doubt it would get very far.

Given the response to every one of NASCAR's innovations of the last few years, I'd say it'd go over like a screen door on a submarine.

Hey, but it keeps the fishes out.
