Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, and Greg Biffle all started their years with Roush in the Trucks before moving up to the big time. Logano, was he in Cup right when he started? no he was in ARCA and Nationwide.

dont be tellin me that the Trucks or Nationwide is not a "stepping stone", the series just got overrun, or else we'd be talking about whos the gonna win the title if Allgier could hold his nearly 400 point lead over the next leading NWS runner. instead we have drivers that shouldn't be in AAA anymore.

thats like Alex Ovechkin or Crosby going back to the AHL or OHL, or Lebron James playing in the CBA. the Trucks are still ok since Harvick and Busch dont make enough appearances to get involved in the championship, but in the NWS, its just a joke

I find your assertion that the NNS is a stepping stone to Cup and that it should be managed as such to be wrong. It was not established as a training series for aspiring Cup drivers, and it never was intended as such. Many Cup drivers have raced in the NNS before stepping up to a Cup ride, but that doesn't make it a series dedicated soley to that purpose.

Hopefully, the folks at NASCAR are too smart to start saying who can and who can't race in the NNS. That would destroy a great racing series.

ok, dont care anymore with the fight, I just got called back to work at my old job, and with todays struggles, I'm so happy to be working again and getting that money :D :beer:

I actually did get a job in January, but by the time March hit, they laid me off because they no longer had work. but with being back a Cat, it will be alot more safe openfully, I am actually working back on my old line which is like winning the jackpot and my buddy said they are giving away major overtime, so I'll prolly be there 6 days a week again gettin some serious bank.
