It's a Joke
Ever wonder why the NASCAR Busch Series has no identity? Take a look at the team lineup for 2007. As of right now, there are less than 20 teams that are scheduled to run a full season with only one driver in their car. Only half of those have any kind of legitimate shot to win a Busch Series championship. Most teams that are competitive to win races — the big name teams — have more than one driver. Joe Gibbs' two cars, the No. 18 and the No. 20, have three and two drivers, respectively. Greg Biffle and Todd Kluever will split time in the No. 16 Roush Racing Ford. Jeff Burton and Scott Wimmer will split time in the No. 29 Chevrolet. The No. 33 Chevrolet of Kevin Harvick Inc. actually has four drivers scheduled to enter races, and KHI's other car, the No. 77 Chevrolet, has three. Ginn Motorsports is fielding one car for drivers Regan Smith and Kraig Kinser. Everything is left to the imagination as far as the Busch Series is concerned. As a matter of fact, we just might have a situation next year very similiar to this year, when Harvick ran off with the championship. You just might see Carl Edwards do that in 2007. Who in the world is going to challenge him, Mike Wallace or Auggie Vidovich? This is probably the reason we don't have A Chase in the Busch Series. There aren't 10 viable teams for a Chase. The Busch Series used to have its own identity. Now, there's not much left.
