This list was compiled based on the following. Any Cup driver who has run 4 or more of the 6 cup races is not qualified.
However, attempting to qualify for a Cup race and not qualifying does not make you a Cup driver. If you fail to qualify for less than half of the cup races, you are simply a Cup wanabee. Therefore you will find a driver on this list who has attempted to make the field for all of the Cup races. However, he is a Cup wanabee and needs to run Busch the rest of the year to see if he is capable of learning more on the Busch track instead of on the Cup sidelines. Can you say Paul Menard? Or should we say Daddy's Money Menard.
You will find also Ward Burton on this list for a similar reason. He has tried to make five of six Cup races but Morgan McClure Racing just needs to hang up the Cup dream. Face it guys, if you can't get along with other people well enough to merge with another potential Cup team, your days of Cup dreams are over.
This list also includes drivers that have not attempted all Busch Races. You don't have to try to race all Busch races to be a Busch regular or a "Busch guy." All of these drivers have run at least four of the seven Busch races.
It's an interesting group. And with more support from NASCAR it could be a very interesting group.
C'mon NASCAR, word is some NASCAR fans were bored this weekend because there was not a Cup race. We will never fix that really. There will always be singularly focused fans who are bigger celebrity worshipers than race fans and will never see past the NASCAR trees thus missing out on other great forests. But maybe somewhere out there under some of those eight caps there may be some fans that we might attract to other racing series if we package them right. What do you say we put our heads together and see what we can come up with?
