I wonder what the whole story is?

While I'm not a fan, nor have I ever been one of Jason, he has been and still is a good journeyman driver who has never been actually given a shot at the big time for whatever reason. Maybe he was born too soon and that is the problem, but today, if one is going to have an even shot even at getting into the Cup ranks, one must have a ride in one of the elite rides, i.e. one that is either owned by Roush, Hendrick, Childress, Penske, Yates, Ganassi or Evernham. If you aren't with one of those boys, you might as well kiss yer butt goodbye as far as a Cup career is concerned. Even if you are driving for Bill Davis, that ain't good enough.
I do believe that those boys who drive in that series understand this and what most of us think they are striving for in a ride in a Cup car, they really are trying to get into a Busch car that is one of the elites. That clearly is the shot at the big times.
