NASCAR may have new Buschwhacker rule for next year

Trent over at Over the Wall just wrote an entry about how he feels about the Buschwhackers running in the Busch Series.  Many fans seems to have their own opinion on it, some agreeing with him, some disagreeing with him and some sitting on the fence about it.  Well, NASCAR has obviously had some complaints, whether it be drivers, fans or whoever, but they may be doing something about it.

According to to an article I read on NASCAR Scene Daily, NASCAR is looking into it and *may* have a new rule in place for next year dealing with the Buschwhackers. 

A quote from the article - I do know this, we're going to try to target more of the prize money to the teams that are running all of the Busch races, which should help them, Hunter said. I think we'll have [some] form of a program like that in place for next year.

The rest of the article talked about either handicapping the Cup drivers or giving more points or money to Busch-only teams.  They figure by doing this, the Cup drivers won't take away as much from the Busch guys, but they will still be able to run in the races, which the track owners love because of attendance.

Will this work?  If they do it right, I think it can work to make everyone happy.  The Cup guys don't really race in the Busch Series for the money or points, they do it to get the feel of the track for their upcoming race, or just do it because they love to race. 

The part I have the concern with is the terminology.  There are teams that run full-time in the Busch Series but have Cup regulars driving the cars, some sporadically and some the full season.  How will those work?  Will it go by team or driver? 

This season we have Biffle and Edwards running full-time in both series, only missing the Busch race when it conflicts with the Cup race, like it did with the Nashville race because of the rain delay.  Will those teams be hurt by this rule next year (if it goes forward) if they have  Cup regular driving the car?  Then you have the #21, sometimes driven by Harvick, but it is a full-time Busch team.

Rusty Wallace runs a full-time Busch team, but seat time is split with different Cup drivers (mostly McMurray and Mayfield).  I'm not sure what the exact driver plans for next year are, but they did mention that his son may drive the car for part of the season next year, but it will still be a full-time team in the Busch Series.

I know the rule isn't completely hashed out and it's not a bad plan in the works, but they will have to address the issue of regular teams that have the full-time or sporadic Cup drivers in them, I would hate to see them penalize a full-time Busch Series team because they have a Cup driver get in the seat every once in a while.

What are your thoughts?  Will this new rule they are contemplating work?
