why are nextel cup drivers allowed to race bush league races too?

[ElFenix]

when you're in the bigs why are you still racing in the minors?

 

[KLin]

Just to piss you off.

 

[Kalvin00]

I have no clue.

It leaves the no-names no chance of winning..

 

Busch, not Bush.

 

[godmare]

is it like mounting the 'fat girl' at hs reunion?

 

[SilentZero]

Because its all about money?

Because in autoracing if you have a car that meets the specs and can quallify your in. Well you usually have to earn a license or whatever the different series call it of somekind too. They do it for money and to gain a leg up on the Nextel Cup race on the same track the next day. Pretty rare for one to do it on the weekends they don't race on the same tracks.

they're having 5 guys run both races this weekend, one is in kentucky and the other in michigan


and yes, i know it is properly, 'busch,' but it's also minor league, aka 'bush'

Well that is not the norm. I know Edwards and Green run both full time and Biffle runs a lot. The other guys just run some and I think thats a first in a long time for Marlin and maybe Wallace. Don't remember those guys running in Busch at all lately but then I don't watch it.

Correction
Got my Greens confused so its just Edwards and Buffle that run most of them.

Two words. Track time.

The theory is there more race laps you have the better you will be. Kinda like practice makes perfect.

Any fool given the proper car can win a race.

if they're going to have rules about how much practice time you can get in your nextel cup car, etc, i don't understand why they wouldn't have a rule that you can't run in the bush league race. seems like you're handing an advantage (though maybe a pyrrhic one) to such a driver
