Let's not act like he had preferential treatment at his first stop.

How old was Jimmie Johnson when he won his first?

Past the age when Jeff wrapped up his final crown.

And like I said ky bu has the talent to be a champion. I just love how the folks who don't even pull for KyBu on a regular basis feel the need to fight his non existent battles and take shots at my favorite driver who is currently the oldest series regular. Whatever vindicates your fandom I suppose.

Looking forward to the Nationwide race today. Only about 5-7 Cup guys in the field so should be an opportunity for some of the up and comers to show what they can do.

I'd bet a cup guy is gonna win it.

Won't be surprised, but at least the odds are a little better with 35 slots actually going to non-ringers. Particularly in this race, it's not uncommon to see half the field be used up by Cup guys using the event as a 300 mile practice session for Sunday.

NASCAR considers limiting drivers on "double duty": Kyle Busch's thrilling move in the final few hundred feet of the Truck Series season opener led to his 99th win outside NASCAR's top series. The victory infuriated many fans. NASCAR heard them loud and clear. NASCAR said Saturday it is looking at potentially limiting the number of second- and third-tier event Sprint Cup regulars can run during the season. Officials have already talked about a potential rules adjustments, and Busch's win Friday night surely will lead to more discussions. Maybe even a change. "We're definitely aware of the fan messaging we get," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR's senior vice president of racing operations. "There's a balance, especially talking to the tracks, of having a Cup driver or two in the Trucks or Nationwide.We have had discussions with the race teams about ownership and should Cup drivers get points and we've looked at should they be limited in the number of races. It's something we are really studying." Busch has 63 wins in the Nationwide Series and 36 more in the Truck Series. Busch and fellow Sprint Cup driver Brad Keselowski own Truck teams, and NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. owns a Nationwide team. And with sponsorship key to funding those operations, corporations often agree to sponsorship deals with the guarantee that the driver/owners will get behind the wheel in a handful of races or more. Tracks, television rights holders and NASCAR also all benefit from the draw of racing's top drivers. Of course, that usually means young and upcoming drivers get overlooked or left out of the car.

My proposal;

If you're running for Cup points you get six races total to run in the lower series. You can run all six in Nationwide, all six in trucks, or a combination thereof. Also start from the rear every race, must run for an team independent of the team you run for in Cup, and to further discourage owners from running Cup guys, if you run a Cup guy, you will no longer get purse winnings.
