Sprint Cup Drivers In Nationwide?

Do you think that the Sprint Cup drivers should be able to race in the Nationwide series? I think that it just amounts to practice for Sundays race for the Cup drivers. I would limit them to 2 Nationwide races a year, or ban them entirely. It has to be frustrating to the regular Nationwide boys knowing that a Cup driver is going to win almost every week and that they are racing for the best finish that a Nationwide driver can get. I think that it would make for better races in the Nationwide series if the Cup drivers just stuck to their own series and let the Nationwide boys battle it out between themselves. Just my 2 cents.

Yea it may be kinda like practice but I think it makes the full time Nationwide drivers gain some skills as they get to see how the Cup guys drives. SO, I think it is ok.

I guess if I'm a driver and I have the skills to compete and the marketplace wants to pay for my skills then I should be allowed to have the job.

If the Sprint Cup drivers were not driving on Saturday, the big time sponsers would not pay big money for the teams. It's all about the money...period.

oh...and you can bet Jimmie Johnson will not win the Cup this year as too many people are getting turned off by his winning all the time due to Lowe's paying big bucks and sponsering a track. Don't bet on good ole Mark Martin either. Marketing a down to earth old school 50 year old would be too difficult.
