Roxane,
Don't mind that post by EasyEd - he's just trying to get under my skin again....
Hey All,
The point is simple - when cup regulars are running xfinity the chances of xfinity regulars winning goes down. Of course cup regulars don't win every xfinity race they are in but they win alot. The question becomes would Erik Jones have won if cup regulars were in the race in Chicago - maybe but we've no way to know. I have often wondered if Cup regular drivers should be allowed to drive Xfinity but then I do get the why - the money they likely bring in. Yes dear we will go to the Xfinity race cuz it costs way less than cup and you can still see your beloved Kyle Busch where he has a chance to win.

I'm disappointed with your responses in this thread...(but they are typical for you)...
I would expect you of all people to at least give Jones some credit for beating Brad...

What I've discovered is that it's against your hard wired DNA to give out a comment to someone that's not "your driver" without inserting something negative or smart. In this case, I suppose it took this long for your "he did good" because Jones drives for Kyle Busch...
Oh, and your negative in this case is your remark about who can win when the Cup regulars aren't racing - instead of just a clean "good win" without the other stuff.

Great race tonight Erik!
Considering you experience, nothing to hang your head for!

I know the reasons why 'Level 1' drivers run in several 'Junior League' series ($$$$$$ and bums on seats) but it sucks.
In fact it is just unsporting, not that 'sportsmanship' counts for much in this arena.
At least the Division 2 series in the V8 Supercars is for new blood or part time drivers, not for the top level runners.

Speaking of V8 Supercars, hows Marcos doing? I heard he went back to racing.
