Bring the Chase to Busch Series

I have another alternate solution to the Cup Drivers in the Busch Series. Have the Cup Drivers who are stepping down to run the Busch Series run a 20 lap Heat Race before the Busch Race begins. If there are 12 Cup guys running in the heat, the top 6 get into the Busch Race. If there are 8 Cup guys running int the heat, the top 4 get in. And so on and so on.

Otherwise, it's like having Roger Clemens pitch in the minors on every other start...it unfairly impacts the standings.

This solution would, also, give the track owners a little bit of additional excitement for the fans.

David Ragan's Learning Curve

Man, this kid received a lot of press this week. But being Mark Martin's heir apparent would do that for you...and being a one-man wrecking crew the last few weeks.

None of the Just Us Cup Chasers have been mathematically eliminated yet.

With 60 possible points per race, everyone is still in the Chase.
