Busch used to have the regulars only dealing with Cup Drivers doing some one off efforts with small teams. Now Roush and everyone else uses it as an opportunity to expand their reach, money and influence and get some track time to help the Cup efforts indirectly. I would have to say NASCAR is the ONLY racing organization in the world that has the top drivers playing down in the "triple A" ranks on a regular basis. You don't see F1 drivers playing in GP2, or other OW drivers running around running Atlantic or Formula Fords.
I think at some point, Busch has to stand on its own. Craftsman Truck seems to, with ex Cup drivers being part of the culture. Busch right now is a mix of Cup guys with a few up and coming drivers and a couple of never wills.....and I just don't get that excited about it. Give me a support series with its own culture, and I could become a fan...."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

the Nashville race was excellent until Edwards took over.
Edwards has already won the championship, he will now easily shatter Harvick's record for most points won by. but noone is running full-time with equipment and exprience of his. Its sort of sad to see Edwards just make the Busch series look like a joke.
I would like to see Nascar down sice the amount of cost for the Busch series and Nascar finally put their foot down and tell the Nextel Cup guys a 5 race limit in Busch series races, the Nextel cup crew chief and crew can't field a car with their Nextel Cup driverBrian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

I think Cup drivers in a Busch race make it look like a joke. I can see a big race, like maybe a road course, or even Daytona ,Dega, or Bristol, but every race except maybe 3 or 4 is just crazy. If I were a Busch only team, I'd sue.
