I wish Nascar would change the rules and only allow drivers to drive in one series. I don’t think it’s fair that they get to drive all 3. It’s not fair to the guys who do drive only one. Nothing against Kyle and Tony is one of my favorite drivers, but come on guys, pick ONE!! I think once they make it to the Sprint series, they should not be able to drive the others. Just my opinion!! But personally I get tired of seeing the same names in all 3 classes. I know that means they’re the best, but seriously, do they really need to be the best of all of them? I personally think Kyle is just trying to prove a point to Hendrix for letting him go. Again, just my opinion.

We need more "Big Names"
I agree that the “Big Names” draw the crowds and the money, which is basically what it’s all about now, but if the “Big Names” would stick with the Sprint series then we might get more “Big Names” in the Nationwide and Truck series!!!

we all like a winner
so different drivers would start winning in the other series. A new face with a winning attitude would draw crowds and attention. Sponsors would naturally be drwn to them and would be nice to see different faces instead of the same fake Pepsi sips….

I agree
And not just that there are some of these drivers that don’t have the experience to be in cup. I know that just made some of you made. But hear me out. I think all of the drivers should have to drive a full season in arca, then a full season in the truck series, then two full seasons in nationwide series,then you get to come to cup and I agree once you move up a series you cant race in more then one just make up your mind witch one you want to race in that year just my opinion thanks Arch

yep
Could not agree with you more. This is the problem with NASCAR not having new faces, not open-wheelers. I ind it ridiculous that they run in the lower series to boost their ego’s. All you get to hear is about the same drivers week in week out.

Big Show?
When a baseball player makes the big leagues, I don’t think he interested in going down to play in the minor leagues..same thing for the NBA stars or the NFL…but in NASCAR it seems to be an unwritten rule that alot of the “BIG SHOW” drivers do run the other series. I think these other series should be used to navigate new and upcoming talent into the Sprint Cup Series. Because if you notice the big names that are moving down to run these series with the less experienced drivers are taking all of their steam away from the ones who are there every week…most of the Sprint Cup guys only run 2 or 3 races then someone else drives for a while, then they come back again. I think this practice is unfair to the talent that should be able to recieve ample seat time in order to make a name for themselves as well. I don’t think that NASCAR would lose that much $$money$$ if they started to promote these drivers like they do the Sprint Cup drivers. People are not as interested in these classes because it is confusing to some of fans who spend half of the race figuring out who is driving what car and then next weekend we do it all over again.

My 2 cents
I think it’s good practice for the drivers as well. I see both your and dar’s points.

i dont think
theres anything wrong with all drivnig in all 3,and it helps them,and all can go for it if they want to,so its not closed off to anyone,i guess i see your point about the same names all th time,but they have sponsors and all that and have commited to doing it,so although you have good points,i dont think nascar will do that,it also sells tickets to have the big names in there too,and after all its about the money aspect too.i to think kyles trying to prove something too,i wonder what rick hendrick thinks about this.
