Is there another driver you’d prefer to see in the car?Kind of sad that the car has become a rent a ride

Jeb Burton, Austin Hill, Justin Allgaier, and Ty Majeski all have shown more promise than him.Is there another driver you’d prefer to see in the car?

For a cup ride?I could be wrong, but I believe those people are all currently under contract elsewhere.
Yeah it's terrible thinking that racing is a business and bills need to be paid.
Across all three series.Some of us want to see good race car drivers in competitive rides. You can acknowledge the unfortunate reality while also acknowledging that it’s unfortunate.
Yeah it's tough when you learn there isn't any Santa Claus, and that racing has never been fair. Not one of ya know how or why Kraus got the contract. I hope he has a good showing myself, and I bet you can guess what I think about the rest lol. Waabulance time.
Multiple rides have changed hands over the years that these gentlemen have been driving. There are probably reasons they don't have Cup seats, reasons beyond someone else buying a 6-race seat. Allgaier in particular has been passed over for quite a while. Owners may know more than we do.Jeb Burton, Austin Hill, Justin Allgaier, and Ty Majeski all have shown more promise than him.

or the Busch champions who came to Cup and did squat.Reading this reminds of how great JJ was in Xfinity.
I root for Allgaier every week. He is my guy. But he has reached his level of talent.Multiple rides have changed hands over the years that these gentlemen have been driving.

Full-sponsored ride, paid well, and a top flight team in Xfinity?I root for Allgaier every week. He is my guy. But he has reached his level of talent.
The lower tiers used to have more competent veteran drivers who didn't have Cup careers for whatever reasons. Fortunately, there are still a handful of them left, although I wish they made up more of the field.Justin is very much seasoned vet and mentor to many of the young drivers coming up.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Better to be in a car that can win any given week in Xfinity, than in a Cup car you have to push that extra push to get a decent finish from it. I stay as well.Full-sponsored ride, paid well, and a top flight team in Xfinity?
I wouldn't move either. Justin is very much seasoned vet and mentor to many of the young drivers coming up.
Then again he has a sponsor that buys his ride in xfinity, who will step up for a cup ride?Couldn’t have said it better myself. Better to be in a car that can win any given week in Xfinity, than in a Cup car you have to push that extra push to get a decent finish from it. I stay as well.
They do not.I think they should loosen up or get rid of the restrictions on Cup drivers in Xfinity & Trucks aka Buschwacking & Bounty Trucking.
I think Ross Chastain and/or Zane Smith or Carson Hocevar against AJ Allmendinger & Justin Allgaier gunnin’ it for the Xfinity Championship on The CW would be entertaining.
I think Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson, Bubba Wallace and other drivers in Craftsman Trucks helps these inexperienced noobs get better.
My only exception is if they're doing it in their own equipment. Actually their own stuff, not prepared by a big cup teamI don’t agree about bottom feeding by the top drivers benefiting the truck or xfinity guys. I’m fine with 1-2 races a year as a show but every time KB wins that’s money and glory and development some lesser paid guy who’s developing can’t win. I wouldn’t want to see Patrick Mahomes starting half the games for Clemson or Notre Dame at this point either.
If you’ve made it to the top you can go down and coach or own or something but I’d keep the limit that’s on it or make it stricter.
like KDB did?My only exception is if they're doing it in their own equipment. Actually their own stuff, not prepared by a big cup team

What are they supposed to say? If you admit you don't like it, you'll get pummeled in the court of public opinion, and it won't win you many friends in the Cup garage, where you're TRYING to get. It's like trying to get a spot on the starting football roster by complaining how the first string guys are working you over. You basically have to get the crap beat out of you and take it with a smile.And your example of drivers who don’t like it? Brendan Gaughan said time and time again that racing with Cup drivers in Xfinity was a good thing.

Buschwacking was horrendous for the sport. I'm glad it's limited now.
5 is a good number.Buschwacking was horrendous for the sport. I'm glad it's limited now.
What was horrendous about it? Literally no one can make a name for themselves anymore besides ironically the guy who “Buschwacked” more than any other driver in the 2010s- Ross Chastain.
Buschwhacking killed the talent pipeline so throughly that Andy Lally and Kevin Conway have Rookie of the Year trophies. We don't know guys like Landon Cassill might have developed if Cup guys weren't taking rides from him every week.
Let’s not forget that Brad Keselowski & Joey Logano too was another phenom that had no problem with Buschwacking at that time.
Brad was the only real talent that emerged from the late 2000s Nationwide Series. Joey Logano, maybe, but he was also developing in the Cup Series and never drove a full season.
