Almirola gets his first career Busch victory, well sort of

Almirola will be credited for the win, get the points and the winnings because he started the race in the #20 car, but Hamlin was the one who got the checkered flag at the end of the race.

Almirola was supposed to practice and qualify the car only and Hamlin was supposed to run the race, but Hamlin's helicopter had trouble landing at the track and Almirola started the race in the car and he was doing good too.  Hamlin was clearly upset about not making it on time.

Almirola won the pole and led the first 43 laps of the race.  Edwards passed him on lap 44, but Almirola was still running in the top, third actually, when the caution came out on lap 57.  That's when the team made their "decision" to take Almirola out and put Hamlin in the car during that pit stop under yellow, it also put them a  lap down.  Knowing how good the car and Hamlin were, they weren't worried about getting back to the lead lap and contend for the win.  They were right, he got back on the lead lap and thanks to a tire going down on Edwards car, Hamlin won the race, not surprising really, he is a Cup driver after all.

Hamlin said it was not his decision to take Almirola out of the car, it was the "teams" decision, but I think it was wrong.  He got the pole, Hamlin wasn't available and he started the race, he should have been able to finish the race unless he was hurt.  How can a "development driver" learn if he can't drive the car and is replaced with a Cup driver?

If the sponsors want a Cup driver to drive the car so they will win, they need to sponsor a Cup car, not a Busch car.  Cup drivers racing every once in a while in the Busch Series is one thing, yes it does challenge the Busch regulars, but racing in practically every race is wrong, they moved UP to the Cup Series, that should be their focus.  How can the Busch regulars, especially the young ones, get noticed if the Cup drivers are always shining in the Busch Series? 

I'm sure Almirola isn't feeling too great about his first career win, especially since he wasn't even in the car, in fact he had left the track shortly after being taken out of the car without any interviews.  I mean how would you feel?  It sure wouldn't feel like a win, let alone my first to me.

How would you feel if that's how you got your first career victory?  Your thoughts?
