So the cup guys think "hey I can't win in my series so I'll drop down and when there. I'm all for them racing in the busch series. It helps the busch guys learn and helps out some cup rookies and the busch series it's self. But nascar needs to limit how many races the cup guys can race per year. If you are a rookie in cup let them race 25 races in busch and if you are a vet in cup let them run 15 races in busch. It's like a high school kid going to the 4th grade basketball court to make himself feel good with a win! It's got out of hand now! Let the smaller busch teams get some exposure and maybe they will get more and better sponsers!

This topic has been beaten to death. The teams and drivers that choose to field a car (building, funding, staffing, and entry fees, etc) have as much right to run both series as anyone. They have rules and templates and follow the same guidelines as the "regulars" you speak of. You can't stop them, they ARE Busch regulars if they run the entire series, and as far as the others who dabble in a handful of races a year, well, they are doing just what you suggested yourself, and that is run 15 or less a year.

So what will make you people happy?

This, coming from a fan of the driver who is in the lead in Busch standings. Of course Harvick can only win Busch Championships.

This coming as expected from a guy using the usual cop out of a slam. Besides, its easy to hide behind the 17 and its championship even though he couldn't get it done in Busch. The 17 is a true whacker of the series, entering only at Roush dominated tracks. At least when Harvick runs, its the entire series and BOTH series. I wouldn't count Harvick out of a Cup championship just yet. There is no doubt in my mind that had Harvick been driving since 2001 in a Roush car, that he too would have a Championship under his belt. Now that he has real cars in the Cup series, you see what he's actually capable of.

Wanted to add this: People want to assume that it is so easy to win Busch Championships and Busch races, but then moan and groan that the field is dominated by Cup drivers which raises the competition, so in fact, goes to show how good of a job Harvick is doing in beating the Cup filled series, including the 17.

Would there be enough cars to qualify in the Busch Series races without the Buachwackers?

I don't now if I'd go that far.  This is the first year Harvick has really raced intelligentlyy (for the whole season).  Thire stuff has been better and that as helped him with everything from confidence to performance.  I think the biggest change at RCR that has helped Harvick is the addition of Jeff Burton.  I think that more than anything has given Harvick someone as a teammate he respects and actually looks up to for advice.  Burton's influence can not be understimated.

But fast cars definately help.

Looks like Harvick is doing well to me in the Cup Series. Has as good a chance as anybody to win the Championship.
