Redneck at Heart?

I am a BIG NASCAR fan. I love watching the Cup races and rarely watch the truck or Busch series. I have a hard time calling the Cup races Nextel. They were Winston for so long that I now just call them the ”Cup races”. I agree with Dale Jr. who said that the Busch races are like the “minor leagues” of Cup races. He’s right. All the Busch racers are trying to get into the Cup races. They don’t have the money to invest into their cars like the Cup guys. The problem is that a lot of the Cup guys are driving in the Busch races. I have a problem with this. First of all, as previously stated, the Busch racers are trying to break into the Cup races. Yes, racing the Cup guys on their turf and in their car setup (instead of the Cup setup) may help them figure out if they’re ready to go to the Cup division. BUT, and this is a BIG but… for every Cup guy in the Busch race, it keeps a Busch guy out of it. For every position a cup driver finishes in the race, it takes away the winnings a Busch driver could have gotten to help him with his cars. I don’t think the Cup guys should be in the Busch races unless they are a rookie in the Cup division. If the non-rookies do choose to race the Busch races (for the fun of racing – the reason they have given), then the Cup guys should not be able to earn points or cash for whatever place they finish. That would show who is really racing just for the fun of racing. The Cup racers should be ashamed and embarrassed if they do not beat every single Busch guy out there. They are the big guys, the “professionals” so to speak. If they let a Busch driver beat them, maybe they should think about going down to Busch and hanging up their Cup careers.
