I'm a Kyle Busch fan but I've thought for years that guys in the CUP series shouldn't be allowed to race in the lower series... I understand money is at play from sponsors but developing new drivers is more important for the growth of the sport. Not to mention, the cars are so different now it doesn't even help those who drive in the series for Sunday.
However, the cup poaching doesn't imo hurt the tv deal, I think the nationwide series is hurt by being a stepping stone series, period. It's looked at as second rate and taking the cup drivers out doesn't really change that. I honestly feel like their should be an age limit.
