Kyle Busch and the Xfinity series

I watched about 30% of the Xfinity race today from Louden. By that point it seemed likely that KB would, again, lead all the laps and win the race, as he always does if he's 1) in the race, and 2) doesn't get crashed out or malfunctioned out. It's become an issue this year unlike in past years, because of the complete dominance of this series by JGR & Kyle Busch. I agree with those who say cup drivers should be allowed to race all they want, but Cup Teams have to stay out of the Xfinity series. And while my ire is usually directed at Kyle Busch himself at the point I change the channel in the middle of an Xfinity race, it isn't his fault. I think a huge part of the problem is the Xfinity series teams who are quite happy to race for second to KB. “Hey, it was a great points day...” When KB isn't driving the 18 car in an Xfinity race, the odds of that car winning are less. So what does that tell us? It tells me that the Xfinity teams need to get off their butt and build cars that can compete with the JG cars. Easy for me to say, I guess, but dang people, if you don't, then NASCAR, seeing the snooze fest an Xfinity event is when KB is in it, will turn to stupid arbitrary rules to solve the problem, and we don't need anymore of that!

I think exactly the opposite way.

I don't care if Cup teams win everything, as long as they do with young development drivers. Cup drivers should not be allowed to run in lower national series, or at least there should be a maximum amount of races (3 to 5 per driver) a Cup driver would be allowed to enter each year.

I am really pissed by the fact only 4 races out of 17 so far this year went to regular NXS drivers...:banghead:
 
A feeder series is a feeder series for the upcoming young drivers, not for level one drivers to rack up testing miles (and prize money!).
The level 2 series in the V8 Supercars is the 'school' for newcomers, almost all of the top teams have a dog or two in the fight, and often dip into the talent pool for co-drivers during the endurance rounds.
It works.
:encouragement:
 
well all i know is my buddy Allen puts the engines together for Kyle's xfinity series cars,so he can win all he wants.....but i agree with the thought that the teams should be involved with the lower tier series,but the drivers really shouldn't,but then i also feel that the cup guys can teach the newer guys technic by racing with them,i mean the young guys will learn from gettin beat every week by the same guys,and eventually beat or atleast compete with them...kyle larson is in that catagory..though i think he has been hurt by getting into cup to soon..and for signing with ganassi...that team just doesnt have that "thing" needed to be really competitive...i mean look at JPM...hes a great driver..yet he won one? race?..
