This 'n' that
After Mark Martin's win at California yesterday, it was brought up in the comment section about how much the Cup drivers are taking away from the regular Busch Series guys, as far as winnings and points. It's true, they did take quite a bit in yesterday's race.
So, I'll bring up something that I brought up in my old blog a while ago. Should the Cup drivers be allowed to race in the Busch Series and if so, under what conditions?
One of my suggestions was that they had to run the full season or a certain amount of races in the Busch Series, but then you run into the problem of how many races is the right number. What about the ones that are driving full-time in both series, should they not be allowed just because they drive full-time in the Cup series too?
Some say it's not fair to the regular Busch Series guys and some say it's good for them. One side has it where they're saying that they have no chance against the big bucks teams driven by the the Cup guys and then you have the others saying how great it would be for a driver to say he beat Mark Martin or Kevin Harvick in a race. Then what about the truck series? It doesn't happen nearly as much as in the Busch Series, but Cup drivers have driven in the truck races too.
So, what do you think? Should they keep it the way it is now or change it?

Great debate question Kathy. I think it is perfectly fine that the Cup drivers continue to compete in the Busch races since some of them own their own Busch teams and they should be able to drive their own cars. I wouldn't be against it if they made them start in the back of the field and make them race to the front.
