Nascar Question....

Sorry for this being on Main Street, if I posted this in racing forum nobody would see it.


For all you Neck Car fans....


Why do alot of the top racers in the Sprint Cup (The Big Boys) race in the Nationwide races (Minor Leagues)?

In most sports the purpose of the "minor leagues" is for younger players/drivers.

I dont get why a bunch of the big boys race with all the rookies.

It would be like Tiger or Phil playing in the Nationwide tournament on their off weeks.

Are they just lookin for a cheap buck? Dont get it.

Would be funny to here a football players interview...


How did you beat that guy on the 70yd TD?

Well... My by Bike protective cup along with the Johnson and Johnson athletic tape on my ankles freed me up to get that extra step.

compliments of wikepedia:

The Nationwide Series is currently the only series of the top three to race outside the United States. The season is a few races shorter than that of the Sprint Cup, and the prize money is significantly lower. However, over the last several years, a number of Sprint Cup drivers have run both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup series events each weekend, using the Nationwide race as a warm-up to the Cup event at the same facility. Detractors of this practice[who?] believe this gives the Sprint Cup teams an unfair advantage, and that the presence of the Sprint Cup drivers squeezes out Nationwide Series competitors who would otherwise be able to qualify. These dual-series drivers have been labeled "Buschwhackers", a play on words which combines the original series sponsor's name with the notion of being bushwhacked. In May 2007, NNS director Joe Balash confirmed that NASCAR is exploring options to deal with the Buschwhacker controversy. One of the most often-cited proposals would be for Sprint Cup drivers participating in the Nationwide Series to receive no points for their participation in a Nationwide race. According to NASCAR Chairman Brian France, all options, except an outright ban of Cup competitors, are still being considered.[21]

Beginning in 2010, the Nationwide cars will adapt somewhat to the current "Car of Tomorrow" (or COT) design used by Cup cars, with different bodies from the Sprint Cup Series. Some critics[who?] hope that the discrepancy between the Nationwide and Sprint Cup cars will help solve the Buschwhacker problem by reducing the advantages of running both series.

A lot of Sprint Car drivers own Nationewide cars. By also driving themselves they keep the attendence up creating bigger TV contracts and bigger Race purses. All about more $$$$$$
