Isn't that unfair? Wouldn't that be like NFL squads being able to play against CFL teams?

it's stupid that they allow that to happen.  plus it gives them an unfair advantage as they get extra time out on the track in a racing situation.  you can practice all you want, but it's not the same as it is in a racing situation.

Because it helps the crowd turn out for the busch series ,the cup guys definately bring more attention to the series, imagine if the truck and busch seies had only know name drivers,the track attendance would suffer and so would the tv ratings.  I think they should be allowed to race but not recieve points.

but the point is that Nascar is the only one that allows this.  you don't see A-Rod slugging homers down in AAA to bring in fans do you?  the busch series is meant to be a transition phase for drivers, where they can learn to race in a nextel type setting with the hopes of one day making it to nextel cup.

 Facing top competition breeds improvement. It's an reversed version of a minor leaguer getting called up to the majors.
